Babysitting Nemo


I am babysitting Nemo.
everytime i look at him, he
waves his orange fins and tail at me;
i wonder if this is how fish flirt.
(i hope i don’t get in trouble with
C; he is her fishy love after all.)
he has dumped his diet of one
pellet twice a day for six, or seven,
even then wiggling for more!
i am worried about my new fishy
friend who seems to gorge himself
and swim all day and all night.
i would never forgive myself
if he ate himself to death.
i hope that fish do not
do such silly
things.
