Ode To A Goldfish Poem by Clarence A. Graham, Jr.

I had a little deformed goldfish
Who knew what to do to ma happy

He would go to the bottom of the tank
Swim fast and jump out of the water and back

A short time before he died
He put on the most spectacular show for me

He did the same show
Can you imagine? he did it forty times

Pets only come once as agents of God
He died and I know he is waiting for me in Heaven
