Love Your Goldfish As Yourself

Feed your goldfish before you leave Love them as you love yourself The bible tells us all fish are created equal Some people prefer baby guppies Because their mouths move slow and oval They are smaller and talk in pantomime Can breath underwater And even look like one another all the time Never throw small things in the toilet Bony creatures can get stuck when flushing Fish go better in a soup Don't tell them that Or add too much seasoning without a reason Be truthful to your fish Be faithful as you wish them to be They swim about for a living The Iliad and Odyssey are recommended reading For people, not aquatic types Anything other than Greek might suffice Goldfish don't speak Greek Don't know about the Trojans either Luwian is foreign and hard to pronounce Too many vowels and consonants Along with cuneiform and hieroglyphic characters Goldfish are not conversant in such languages We recommend leaving them in a bowl Preferably filled with water That way they can grow old Don't confuse them with gray guppies Goldfish are gold Some say orange or red Love your fishes any way Like the good book says ….or was it the cook book?
