I’ve been given a rare giggle fish he lives in a glass bowl not a dish My giggle fish acts just like a clown he swims well, so he’ll never drown I’ve named my pet giggle fish Tony he’s scrawny; he’s so thin and bony He blows raspberries in his glass bowl Tony’s tiny, but he’s got lots of soul! He seemed cold, so I must confess I bought him a blue sequined dress! He wears it when we go out for a walk When folk see us, they stand and gawk! Tony can giggle; it's a fact not a hoax he recites rude rhymes and bad jokes At night time I read him Dr Seuss as he sips his purple orange juice I bend down to kiss his small head as I tuck him in a feather lined bed When he wakes he pours me some tea he’s a unique pet, I think you’ll agree!

A delightfully silly poem, Jan, though the skill and invention behind it is by no means silly. Well done.

Tony's quite the fish. All that's missing is the spumoni...Great entry for Caren's contest. Laughs and giggles all the way. Season's best, Jan! ~ Gershon

:) Don't keep Tony out of the water too long when you take that walk, Jan. And you have me wondering how feathers feel underwater. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn

Just a crazy poem Carolyn, I know its the type of thing that Caren likes, Tony sleeps in a little feather bed and he only goes in the bowl when he feels like a swim lol:-) hugs Jan xx

This is about a fish? But you take it out for a walk? Whatever it is it's a scintillating awesome poem I enjoyed its flow and rhyming story of. I have a bouquet that is plastic and I have an unposted poem on it so I liked to see yours is a poem on sth not plastic. Kudos. Merry Xmas. Pleez do review/comment my newest poem too.
