Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My Fish Is Fantastic, He's Real Not Made of Plastic

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!

Carolyn Devonshire December 22, 2018 at 11:09 AM :) 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 Jan Allison December 22, 2018 at 11:38 AM 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
