Wish the Fish 04 (respect)
by louis gander ONCE upon a splashing time a little fish wished he could rhyme. But 'Wish the Fish' lived in the sea and brought so much calamity. --- In Fish Hook City down below the ocean waves and ocean's flow - are diff'rent colored fish in schools who made a slew of bizarre rules. Now Wish the Fish? Mostly greenish - avoided colored fish of bluish, pinkish, reddish, brownish, whitish, blackish, (well, you get the pictureish). So anyway, Wish grew learning how to judge without discerning. Although he harbored little hate, he learned how to discriminate. He elevated self with pride until there was a huge divide between the greenish tone of Wish and other hues of other fish. His attitude of disrespect was obviously incorrect but Wish, a racist, had become. He was naive, pathetic, dumb. Wish came across a colored 'Trout' and said something to think about and Wish was firm down to his soul. He said the rules gave him control. He said those words, not once, but twice They were not good and were not nice. But then he heard that fish's cry and felt so bad, he wished he'd die. So Wish cried off proud scales that day. They fell like rain and that gave way to great respect for ev'ry kind of fish that Wish could ever find. Wish asked forgiveness on the spot and his reward? New friend he got. So that's how Trout became a friend who trusted Wish. And that's "The End". --- The moral of this poem's great, if this world would love, not hate respect! ------- Wish the Fish (introduced in story 01) Big Mouth Bass ( introduced in story 03) Trout (introduced in story 04) Copyright 2021 by louis gander.
