Fish Wishing

You can't have a puppy,

But I'll get you a guppy.

Guppies are a lot less work.

Guppies don't dig in the dirt.

Remember when last year

Your Uncle Joe came here?

His dog ate up all those flowers 

And not one of them was ours!

They sure must have been tasty

‘Cause his dog was quite hasty

He swallowed the stems and the leaves

Only stopping when he had dry heaves.

Our neighbor sure was upset.

She hadn't known what to expect. 

So, kids, the next time you wish,

Please, just wish for a fish!
