If I were in that world of wonderful aquatic life
I would have no anxiety, worry , fear or strife
Driftin’ with my family just keeping an eye to rear
For even as a captive fish I never know who is near
Darting and diving into the oh so fake plastic fauna
Swimming as far as i can, well at least to the corner
Sponge Bob’s pineapple is blocking my only direct path
A simple twitch I go through holes if only fish could laugh
No job to hate as money is not a consideration or worry
News means nought as does politics, in life there’s no hurry
Food provided now just play and sex are my daily task
So if there’s a god make me a fish in my tank is all I do ask
