The Fish Who Couldn’t Float

Once upon there was a small fishy 

This fishy forgot how to keep a rise

He swam in circles, feeling flimsy

And ended up being caught in his own demise


He kicked his fins in our little tank

Struggling to get above the water

He tried to float, but his efforts sank

Until bro realized he cannot swim like an otter


Once this came to mind, he quickly panicked

His family watching him with desperate eyes

The fish continued sinking like the Titanic

Until soon the water drowned out his desperate cries


Now his human family is left in shock

Staring at the tank where Ol’ Jimmy used to swim

They still can’t believe that the poor fish met his block

Drowned in the water, oh so quiet and grim.
