    He died quickly and peacefully. there he was swimming round his bowl he then slowly turned upside down then one final flick of his tail then gone. the big question is how should i send him on his way to fishy heaven. flushing him down the toilet seems trashy.


    Forget him. He's forgotten you already.

    Everyone's calling this fish "Mr." or "he" ... how do you know it's a male? Just how do you "sex" a goldfish? Did he have a teeny weenie? :(

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Requiem for a fish.

    Stop all the clocks, turn off the telephone.
    Stop the cat from eating Mr Fish, with some cheap whiskas chicken on the bone.

    "You said he was sleeping Dad", was the cry from young Darrcow.
    "You lied, you lied, he has died, he has died!".

    No more shall Mr Fish nibble on his fish flakes,
    He is gone now, forever swimming in circles on the great lakes.

    He said goodbye to Nemo, Nemo's Dad and Dory.
    As he faded from this world he smiled to himself, satisfied with his life story.

    With a flick of a fin and a twist of a tail,
    Mr Fish decided enough was enough and off on a journey he did set sail......

    ..and with fond memories still a flitter
    we flushed him down the shitter

    Well, its not too far off a burial at sea.

    Just make sure you pull the flag out, and give him a military salute as he swirls.

    I'm glad he's gone - he took my leg off back in '67.

    I think a simple ceremony would be best, nothing to flashy or fancy.

    They got a bit crabby when you opened a second thread for Mrs Fish!
    (were they married, BTW, what happenned to herring?)

    You must be grieving on an unprecedented scale.

    Clearly, they were rays of happiness in your life.
    It saddens me that this grief has been thrust uprawn you, out of the blue.

    But hold your head high, and keep walking boldly through life - remember some people only manage to limpet after a tragedy such as this!
