PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I tried to potty-train my fish

Just the other day

But every time I tried to teach

He'd swim away and play

I told him that this was his home

He'd have to go outside

But he didn't want to listen

No matter how I tried.



So then one day I picked him up

And dropped him in the john

I waited for five minutes

Then checked to see if he had gone

Much to my great pleasure

It seemed as if he had

And so I had to applaud him

And I told him I was glad



Sadly in my excitment

I rushed to teach him more

I showed him how to flush the thing

And this is why I'm heading back,

To the pet store...
