Something Different

So I usually post pictures, but I recently rediscovered this poem that I wrote a few years ago, and it made me laugh...so I thought I'd share =)

The Sad Event

While I cleaned out my goldfish bowl—

So that mom would not nag—

To keep him from the sink’s dark hole,

I put him in a bag.

But somehow prison he escaped

While I had looked away.

The sink disposal hole, it gaped

And swallowed up its prey.

My sister then walked in the room

And headed to the sink.

I tried to stop her, avert doom—

She did not even blink.

She flipped the switch, my goldfish died;

We could not get him back.

I left in tears, I sat and cried

For my untimely lack.

So now I’m praying for a dog

To take my fish’s place.

I need a dog, since they don’t fit

Down disposal space.

Of course, another reason to want a dog: 

...they're soooo adorable (and photogenic)! =)

Hope you're having a wonderful day before Christmas Eve!
