Once there was a Fishy
watching me though the glass
staring me in the eye
a dream was born alas
I gave into MTS
and brought him and a friend home
an uncycled tank,
was where the two were borne.

We had our little tea party,
Lionel and me,
and Charlie tagged along.
To see what he could see.
Alas disaster struck
while i was gone away.
And for my good intentions
sweet Lionel did pay.

Was it a bad reaction,
To Charlie's ICH meds?
A lingering infection,
we never knew he had?
Or did it happen that
the water change,
I did before I left.
Wasn't good enough,
and ammonia was Lionel's death?

I'm sorry my dear friend,
that I wasn't here for you.
I'm sorry please forgive me.
That I wasn't there with you.

RIP LIONAL (Sept. 7/09)

Red, your poem was really lovely. I'm also very sorry that you lost your little guy. I know what you mean about the other fish looking lost without his buddy. Best wishes.
