My Poor Fish Gus

I got up today and
looked so sour so I went and
took a shower, and then I got
dressed.

     Then I went to brush my
     teeth with Crest, so I looked
     at my hair and it was
     a mess.

          So I took out my brush
          and accidently crushed my fish
          Gus (oh, poor Gus!).  Then I looked at
          my face, and was brave enough to go shave.

               So I went to eat and
               I ate like a lion even though
               I could hear poor Gus
               crying.

                   So I got on the bus
                   and all I could think about
                   is my poor, poor, poor, fish
                   Gus.                                                   By Sarah E. Kenz
