The Goldfish in the Bong - A short poem

[OR Freebird]

I wrote this for another web site, but thought it was pretty funny and worth posting here. Curious if it IS funny, or if I am just high...

I had a little goldfish
I kept her in a bowl
Until I knocked it over
Which was surely not my goal

I knew that little Goldie
Would probably not last long
Unless she got some water quick
So I threw her in my bong

Goldie is real special, she's got resin on her gills
I take her almost everywhere, the forest and the hills
We laugh and joke, sing silly songs
And all the while we're snappin' bongs

Goldie is a hippie fish
She wears tie-dyes laced with beads
Sheâ??s also quite intelligent
She listens while I reads

I clean the outside of my bong
While Goldie cleans the in
But after a good cleaning
She can only use one fin

That is until that fateful day
I took her to a frat
Some big jock was drinking beer
And lots of it at that

He turned my way and saw the bong
I knew inside something was wrong
His eyes looked very far away
I still remember them today

Goldie looked at me with fear
Bubbles at her lips
Jock-boy grabbed away my bong
and drank it in big sips

He sucked the tail in with a snap
Then he said, "well that is that"
I hid my face, began to cry
My Goldie dear had gone bye-bye

"What a shitty way to end"
Punned his stupid fratboy friend
Goldie, I sure hope jock-boy's really pissed
When he tests positive for cannabis

lmao omg man nice work awsome poem yo its so funnt yet emotional at the same time i feel for goldie !

[ezjim]

if goldie hadnt been ingetsed she would have died from the resin clogging her little gill's..we tryied the gold fish in a water pipe thing when we were kids and the fish was fine when we took it out of the bong but the next day it was belly up with a bunch of black shit around it's gills ,,, sorry for your loss bro...btw you shouldn't expose young gold fish to such eveil people as jock's and frat boy's no good can come from it

hehe I liked that story.(so long as it was fictional) Either way it was well written .I liked how you gave the fish personality.

That's the saddest fookin' thing I ever read.

I sure hope lil' goldie ripped his tongue off on the way down.

It is (I hope) a fictional poem. Thank you -- glad I could put a smile on someone's face
