"I Am But a Goldfish"

This is odd. About 4 months ago I was at college with a friend (College has since ended, and I miss it alot!") and we had an hour spare. Being young, free and stupid we eventually ended up on a website that asked us to submit a poem about one of our pets for the chance to be published in a poetry collection entitled "Animal Antics". Classy.

Long story short - My poem about my Fish Bob (Beautifully named 'I Am But a Goldfish') seemed to impress. I got a formal-looking copyright letter through the post asking me for my signature and permission to publish my poem in the book. The funniest thing about my poem is that I wasn't being serious. It was a joke entry. I think one of the lines was 'I am but a goldfish, awaiting treats from above'. Touching, right?

I seem to remember my friend Thomas also wrote an entry. Unfortunately, his portrayed a rather morbid story about his cat getting run over. Can't see that getting into 'Animal Antics' 2010. Shame.
