"You'll never get to sleep tonight!"

Splish

Splash

As they laugh



Oh, and did they laugh so mockingly

Splish

Splash

Again they laughed,

Now it is very disturbing.



So, I flick on the light

And they're out of sight,

Hiding behind plastic plants



So, I flick off the light

and what do I hear?

"Sleep Tonight?

No way,

No how,

No chance!"



Never question the black circles

Under my eyes,

Obviously they were well earned.

Because one quaint little night

I ended their charade ...

... Let's just say,

I eat my fish raw and not burned!



"Now I can get to sleep," I said,

"Because I don't live in their wrath."

And to my surprise

As I closed my eyes

I suddenly began to laugh!



Laugh and laugh

Is all I did.

Now, I know this seems outrageous,

But, know did I not

When I swallowed those fish,

Their laughing was contagious.



To this day,

I leave a request,

Never eat raw goldfish please!

Maybe even now it is safer to say,

leave those sarcastic fish in the seas!
