Joy is the thing with scales
Which swims into your heart
And fills your veins with sweet splashes
You wish it wouldn’t part.
Its scales shine in the sun
And even in the rain
Colours shimmering daintily
It will swim back again.
Big bubbles float inside your soul
From gills which scarcely stop
But as smooth as those fine fins slide
You know all bubbles pop.
