(The Little Fish) 
I am the 
Little Fish 
Swimming in my pond 
Swimming is my delight 
Exploring my pond 
Seems there is always new 
Sights daily to see  
I am the 
Little Fish 
Swimming in my pond  
I swim from morn to night 
No bell on my tail  
 
People come, watch me swim 
Wink and wave for them

That's just delightful, Jim!
ReplyDeleteA delightful song of the little fish.. I like the touch of it having no bell on its tail.
ReplyDeleteI like the no bell and the wink and wave.
ReplyDeleteI like this confident, happy little fish, Jim
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful delightful little fish... the not having it's bell makes me think there is some freedom even if it's confined to the pond.
ReplyDeleteA little fish can still exact attention of others perhaps because of colorful hues.
