"There's Got to be more

 to bastard life than this!"

Exclaimed my Goldfish

& fellow speaking Creature, Chris

before collapsing on the sofa

- good effort fish bliss.





"There is"

I replied

"My memorable pal

my Icthionic friend,

just sometimes swim further

- or possibly sideways

 you'll get there in the end"





"As there's often more to this shite

gilled chum

than often again

 first appears"







But Chris was sweetly sleeping

& proper bolloxed by now

so it fell on deaf fish ears.





THE END
