Gold in a Bowl

Gold in a Bowl

It is boring

Swimming around 

In here.

Sometimes I go

One way,

Sometimes another.

All I do is eat.

Four or five times

a day.

Flakes on top 

of the water.

I eat every one of them.

Yes, I do.

This bowl is getting 

Smaller.

"DAMN IT"

I learned that word

From a deep voice

I hear a lot.

I also hear, 'You and 

that damn Goldfish!"

I wonder what 

that means?

I try to sleep 

at the bottom,

But that sound 

always wakes me up.

I had a friend for awhile

We used to race

around in here

until we were dizzy.

One day she went 

to the top 

Upside down.

Soon she went straight

up and out.

I think she went to heaven.

I see blurry colors

And smell

strange things at times.

Oh My God, I feel

something chasing me.

Yikes, I am flipping 

in the air.

I can't breathe.

Ohhhhhh

Now I am in a 

strange place.

It is huge, I see 

a friend too.

The deep voice is saying,

"There, Are you happy now?"

Why, Yes, I am.

Thank you very much!
