Lobster
Lobster is a goldfish,
Living in a tank.
Instead of swimming, though, it seems
That Lobster somehow sank.
His fish companion, Wendy,
Acts as perky as can be,
Which makes the fate of Lobster
So much sadder, then, to see.
It’s possible that Lobster
Will improve and start to swim.
It’s something that I wouldn’t count on,
By the looks of him.
Every pet will hit its limits
And, despite the life it’s had,
Even something such as goldfish
Passing on’s a little sad.
