Ode to the Common Goldfish

Carassius auratus - Not Just Feeder Fish!
​

By Lisa Englander ​

Goldfish are just as beautiful, ​

As the cichlids that my friends rave. ​

So why do they make fun of me, ​

Just cuz they are my fave? ​

Some may just be comets, ​

While others are quite rare. ​

To scoff at the whole lot of them, ​

I don't think this is fair. ​

They say my goldfish are just feeders- ​

Not like their beloved haps... ​

My fish are pets, have character, ​

Theirs just swims in laps. ​

Are they jealous that my breed ​

have colors just as bright? ​

My ranchus don't need heaters, ​

To keep them warm at night! ​

So maybe there aren't orandas ​

That comes in violet or blue. ​

In the coming generations, ​

who knows if this stays true? ​

They are just as striking ​

In orange and white, I think. ​

They don't need to come in colors, ​

Like purple, green or pink. ​

Some they have great headgrowth ​

While others, they do not. ​

Theirs might have a little stripe, ​

And some just have a dot. ​

Some have eyes with tassels, ​

And some gaze to the sky. ​

The cichlids lay eggs too, ​

Big deal - they tend their fry. ​

Mine have laid their little eggs ​

And theirs, as well, have spawn. ​

But when the great big heater fails- ​

All of theirs are gone. ​

We use the exact same filters, ​

Tanks, and what-have-you. ​

In their house they raise the bugs, ​

While I just don't have to. ​

Mine get along just fine ​

With pellets, peas and zucchini, ​

While they are hatching brine shrimp- ​

I'm in my bikini! ​

I feed them the pellets, ​

The bloodworms and the flakes. ​

My fish are just as cared for, ​

Of this, make no mistake. ​

I don't see cichlids in varieties, ​

like the goldfish I have seen. ​

Like the shubunkin and the dragonback, ​

And some of theirs are mean. ​

White bodies and a bright red cap, ​

How incredible is that? ​

How could you not love a fish, ​

So egg-shaped and so fat! ​

I adore the goldfish ​

Of them I'm very fond, ​

And I don't see my friends, ​

putting Oscars in a pond! ​

A very ancient art, ​

In China they are raised. ​

In the club where I belong, ​

I am always hazed. ​

I don't think this is right. ​

How can this all be true? ​

If only they would get a life ​

And also get a clue! ​

Being sacred in their land ​

The Chinese can attest, ​

With tails that fan and eyes that bulge, ​

The goldfish is the best! ​

There was a Tetra from Nantucket....

on a empty drive through
I wake up and see clearly
beneath the murky waters
ponder's great truth

The fixin I'll be damned
when i have a rod at hand
toss the bait out once more
in hopes a fish will rise once more

sigh for moments lost
adjure the minute will last
oh, thou mystery is solve
Beneath the clouds that cast
