Some Impossible Love Story

Goldfish and a handheld mirror mated.
Tabloids and truth are rarely conflated. 

   She has a dinky dorsal.
   Plus, her mind's never full.

   I saw myself in him,
   as transparent as I am dim.

   Witty, no, Big Bird's listed as her closest kin.
   Waters ain't ruffled, I adore Goldie's kinky lateral left fin. 

   Her scales sparkle with purpose and poise.
   She swims in a cage, heedless of raising a noise. 

   Sweet tartare sauce!  Gal reeled me in through her coy affection. 

   My prince is anything but a wall hanging for your reflection.
