Tiny:
I requested an arrowana back near the announcement of the freshwater tank too, and I remember your posts on it. I'm kind of surprised that more people haven't clamored for them.
Anyway, this reminded me of a time way back when I was actually bored enough to pound out a little poem emphasizing the screensavers need for this fish. At the time I figured I would post it here on the forum and it would be good for a laugh. However, once it was done and I saw that it was the MOST PATHETIC THING EVER WRITTEN I decided it should never see the light of day, and tucked it away in a corner of my computer. Where, of course, I found it just now.
So, here it is, for your comedic enjoyment! Calle, this one's for you!
I want a arrowana
with a silver shiny sheen
gliding graceful and majestic
across my 'puter screen
I wanna arrowana
one that's pretty big, not small;
a little aro's not much better
than having none at all
I wanna arrowana
I know tetras can be pretty
but pint-sized pisces never moved me
to compose a tribute ditty
If I don't get an arrowana
I'll take it with aplomb
by calling you late in the night
to make jokes about your mom
In this bleak unhappy life
filled with uncertainty and strife
we look up to our screen savers
to provide uplifting flavor
that our existences have so long lacked
And though I really can't condone
getting trigger-happy like Al Capone
In these dark and desperate times
(a cliché but hey, it rhymes)
when our kids can't spell "Botswana"
because they're hooked on marijuana
my desire cuts like a katana
and burns hot as a sauna
for my favorite aquatic fauna
of all time
I wanna arrowana
it will help promote world peace
give us an arrowana
that we can feed live meese
/ ducks waves of hurled tomatoes
