Floating gently I am an aqua fish,
My silver shimmering fins flippering.
I swim every ocean with a swish,
For swimming to me is just a fling.
My googly eyes see a kingdom of sea.
Wet, cool water is all theese scales know,
Air dries my tender skin so easily,
So I love to feel the sweet water flow.
In this watery realm I but feel lost.
For a fish such as me is with many
That will avoid the harm at any cost.
But I will not let that shark eat me.
Alone I am to be yet in the end,
A glimmering fish, still without a friend.
