Ode to Giant Goldfish

Oh giant goldfish, eating on top of my mantle,
I'm afraid that your size
Is all
I can
handle.


Somebody close gave you to me, you see?
But there's just one problem
You're too
big for
me.

I came out my bedroom
one night in a storm.
And then
right there,
I knew
I was
torn.

There's no place to put you
No place
that you
fit.

So I ask all of you here
can you please
take my
fish?

(And my cat, also, he needs a good home too...)
