My fine goldfish, you

inspire me to write.

I hate the way you feed,

soar and waddle,

invading my mind

day and through the night,

always dreaming

about the cutaway model.

Let me compare

you to a weak clover?

You are more creepy,

excellent and huge.

Bleak storms whip
the twigs of October,
and autumn-time

has the unfriendly kluge.

How do I hate you?
Let me count the ways.
I hate your alarming fingers

and lip, and gaze.

How your personality
fills my days
with undisputed rage!
My hate for you is the friendly pink slip.

Now I must away with a funny heart-

Remember my leaky words whilst we're apart.
