The fish in the tank
Sit around in a bowl with a face so blank
That is only what my fish does everyday
I wonder how it feels to be in that tank
Not even able to go visit buffets
Does he have a name, is it something like Frank?
What if I let him be set loose by the bay?
Maybe I am overthinking this right now
It's just a simple little fish anyhow
