Goldfish

This wish for an aquarium seems overwhelming.

Should it be a ten or even a fifty-five gallon?

Should the front be straight or bending?

Or perhaps the stands show its filters or look like a million?



When you come right down to it can I count on the rule of thumb

You know the one that states one fish for every five gallons

Or can I trust the groups of owners I visit and hope they aren't all as numb as they appear

The aquarium owners say forget the samllion gallon rule you hear!



The thing to do is remember keep it dark and keep it light.

All in all it still comes down to what we hear

You must do whatever makes you happy

So listen to the all the balcony cheers and just enjoy life my dear!
