Watch out for the fishes!
They swim where they want, act bold
and eat what they wishes.
Don't think you can out swim 'em
with your floaties and fins green like mold
'cause nothing moves as fast as them.
They look colorful but don't be fools,
no matter what you think or've been told,
they've sharp teeth and swim in schools.
So learn this well my little sweeties
and keep your distance too far to hold
or they'll nibble on your toes and feeties.
Offered for Margaret's challenge to write a children's poem using the amazing kids' art pictures she posted on Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads. Check out the art, you'll be surprised and delighted. Also offered for Gay at dVerse Poets Pub who challenged us to devise a new poetry form. This one is simple - verses of three lines each with the first and third rhyming with each other and the second rhyming across all verses. Does this exist already, Gay? Others came up with fun and creative forms worth perusing.
