A Reply from the Fish      (U-Gene)


What’s it like to be a boy?

Oh little boy upon the bank
What’s it like in your big tank?
Do you wish you could swim around?
Like me down here on watery ground

Little boy who stares at me
Would you like to live in the sea?
Spend all day just eating bugs
Wipe your fins on sand not rugs

Little boy what’s it like
To ride around on your mountain bike?
Fall right over and graze your knee
Not blow bubbles just like me

What’s it like to comb your hair?
Tell some stories you can share
What’s it like to eat ice cream?
Close your eyes and always dream

I think our worlds are much alike
I’ve got my fins you your bike
You see our story never ends
So lets remain the best of friends

Yep Jon, another pat on the back from me... lovely fun and warm too.

You two are very entertaining. This is the best poetry to come around in a long time. Or am I just a child at heart?
