Your Fish Lyrics

To the one with the bright ideas,
I've starved your fish to death.
All of them --
The bottom feeders, catfish and the loaches,
The tropical ones too --
All the ones they mention
On the back of the Tetramin bottle...

Feed two or three times daily...
Contains essential nutrients and added vitamin C,
Which provide optimum care and help promote
Energetic fish and long life.

Oh how they tried to reach the bottle,
Only to bash their heads
Against the glass you put them into.
You put them into a sticky position.
You boxed up three cubic feet of cold ocean --
And not an honest sample either.
You brought in extra bright ones
With florescent colors injected into stripes,
And discarded the plain ones,
Single cells and the seaweed.
Definitely not enough of a sample to set up a cycle,
Or support themselves without my thumbs.
