Ode to My Fish

[crimsontsavo]

Oh I still remember-
The day we first met-
You were trying your hardest-
To escape my well aimed net-
The day I brought you home-
Oh Flag Fin Shiners and Johnny Darters-
I smiled and laughed at your antics!
And then I brought a friend-
To share your happiness-
He was so small and sweet-
Just a little fish-
As time passed on and you all grew-
I left your side to catch a snooze-
When the morn came whizzing in-
I went to catch a glimpse of my sweetest little fins!
Oh and what I found, brings tears to my green eyes-
Your mangled bodies scattered it seemed so thoughtlessly-
And out of the corner of my eye-
With a wicked grin-
One big fat frigging Bream!

R.I.P Little Flag Fin Shiners and Johnny Darters.

* whats so sad is I was gonna remove the bream (sunfish) from the tank that same day so he would'nt eat my fish!*

losses are hard, but

the road goes ever on and on
down from the door where it began
and i must follow if i can
pursueing it with weary feet
till it comes to some way or meet
and wither then? i cannot say.

who knows, maybe youll find a new favorite fish to replace them. where there are losses, there are gains, even in this case.
