A Christmas Poem

Tell me what you think of Christmas
fishes, in your watery zoo.
Are you getting all excited?
Are you celebrating too?

What do you think of Christmas
as you swim around your tank?
Have you written lists to Santa
and overdrawn your bank?

What do you think of Christmas?
Or should the question be
what do you think of humans?
As through the glass you see

us getting all excited
as nearer draws the day
with paper this, and paper that,
and plastic all the way!

You look at us with open mouths
as ours we fill with fare;
and wonder where we put it all
and do we really care?

O fishies, in your little world
you have enough it's true.
And I should ever grateful be
to have as much as you!

Hi Graham - just read your blog - is this the last one? if so - hurry and get some more on it.
You know I'm a fan.
