Goodbye My Friend

My fish and I were friends. When I received it as a white elephant gift for Christmas, the first thing I said was, "What an ugly fish!"

Every morning when I went to brush my teeth, I would lovingly feed my fish and think, "What an ugly fish."

I even named my fish, "Ugly Fish."

But I wasn't prepared to return home from work to find my ugly fish upside down, stuck in the plastic plant, dead.

So to you, my friend who I had to flush down the toilet, Goodbye. I will miss the way you bumped into the sides of the bowl and the long talks we shared. Although you were ugly, you were beautiful on the inside.
