Ode to the Ninjafish

Oh Ninjafish we bow to thee,
And delight in your ninjery

Your shuriken are soaking wet,
And have not hit a target yet,

Your fins are bladed, razor sharp,
And though you stalk us in the dark

Dear Ninjafish we're not afraid,
Fear in our hearts you have not made

For though your teeth are sharp and bitey,
And your fishy muscles mighty

There is still one thing you forget,
You are just some poor students pet

Your bowl is glass, too thick to break,
An escape you have yet to make

And even though you plan each night,
Dreaming that one day you just might

Free yourself from captivity,
And bask in glorious liberty

The floor outside looks rather dry,
And that damn cat looks somewhat spry

The food comes to you every day,
And in its own refractive way

The view is really not that bad,
Your owner would be rather sad

To see his ninja gasping, flopping
On a floor that needs a mopping

So Ninjafish to you I say,
Postpone your flight, for one more day.
