My Mate Jericho Gave Lsd To Zebrafish

We were at a children's party
He told me about his ukulele 
When he played in front of audiences
People would shout out, "Did it shrink?"

He worked as a chemistry teacher
To get this going he explained 
A study he did with his students
In primary school

The comparative neuroanatomy and 
Neurochemistry of zebrafish CNS systems of 
Relevance to human neuropsychiatric diseases
Despite differences in the development of the telencephaion

I said, "Blimey"
He said "Yeah"
We high-fived and grabbed another beer
As he walked to the kitchen

I high-fived myself
I fist-bumped a Minion stuffed toy
Sat on the sofa
I was pleased with my mental well-being
