Fish With a Wish
Splish! Splash!
Went the little goldfish.
As she flipped,
and she flopped,
right out of her dish.
Hiss-s-s-s!
Hiss-s-s-s!
across the room,
came a threatening sound.
And she wished,
oh, she wished,
she was back in her dish!
The house cat pranced
and swished his tail,
as he played with his squeaky toy,
and his playmate, little Dale.
Then the cat paused.
He sniffed the air.
He leaped for joy.
He smelled a live fish,
and not a rubber toy!
With a happy prance,
on cat feet that danced,
across the room,
he quickly advanced.
But the boy heard
the wish! The wish!
of his little gold fish.
And he flipped,
and he flopped
her back in her dish.
Lucky Fish!
Lucky Fish!
With a wish!
