How wonderful it could really be To be a blowfish in the sea, Keeping safe from all the harm Puffing up at the slightest alarm No worries through out the day Just some leisure and a little play Have a good nibble here and there And when threatened puff up with air When the bullies come around Make defense with out a sound When you can blow up like a ball Not to fret about anything at all No more hassles from loves bite Moving freely through the night Just imagine how it could be To be a blowfish in the sea No danger of feeling life’s pain A simple life you could sustain When no longer in a threatening state Just swim away and slowly deflate You could even amuse your self Just bounce yourself off a coral shelf You wouldn’t even have to diet Just exhale,.. oh what a riot So many beautiful fish to choose All of them somehow seem to lose Of all the fish that swim the sea A little blowfish is what I’d be Dedicated to all the Arothron hispidus {puffer fish}!  hehe< !signature--> ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" [This message has been edited by Irie (edited 11-22-2000).] |

You turned me into a blowfish while I read this and I loved it much. Nicely written. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

Tepok ~*Smiles*~ What would you give to be with thee, this little fishy of the sea..... Come swim with me on this magic ride and see what's here below the tide. Sven The insperation came from me setting my aquarium back up, again, and this time I've decided to go with Marine fish....and I just know that I'll be kicking myself in the butt in about two weeks for that! I'm glad you liked! Poeminister Wouldn't it be fun to be a blowfish? Hehe I'm thrilled you loved it! Many thanks to all of you for reading and replying. I'm happy you've enjoyed!
