The Fish

I woke this morning, like all others, went down to my desk
I hoped to see you swimming, but found you statuesque.
My office darkened at the sight, of my friend upside down
His belly up, his eyes now glazed, it made me want to frown
Our time together was so short, our friendship resolute
And now my friend I give to you the porcelain salute
A friend to mourn, a bowl to clean, for this I did not wish.
But of those that could have died, I'm just glad it was the fish.
