There once was a goldfish named Zero
Who wanted nothing more than to be a superhero.
He patrolled his bowl day in and day out
Waiting for a damsel to shout
Waiting for a villain to unveil his evil plan
Waiting to be the aquatic Superman

One fine day a nemesis appeared
The face of a cat sneered
Our friend greatly feared
A foul feline that clawed and jeered
With plan our fishy protagonist engineered
He swore on Poseidon's beard
To rid the world of this pet so weird

Into his tiny plastic castle Zero did hide
From the scoundrel that slept outside.
As the cat slumbered the bowl began to slide
With the glass, Zero did collide
Causing the aquatic home to fall
Fishy hero and all
Zero's goal had been fulfilled
Causing the evil cat to be killed.

What fills me with woe
Is little Zero did not know
Without the water he needed
His life could not have proceeded
But he died a Hero
