I acquired an Aquarium,

Aquarium,

Aquarium.

I acquired an Aquarium

but hadn’t got a fish.

 

I filled it with my poems.

my pebbles,

my doodles,

I filled it with my chocolate coins

and words to make a wish.

 

I filled it full of tedium,

tedium,

tedium.

I filled it full of tedium.

emptied out my dish.

 

An interesting sludge

formed at the bottom,

something began to move.

 

I acquired an Aquarium,

Aquarium,

Aquarium.

I acquired an Aquarium

but haven’t shaped a fish.

...and thanks RJN, just a bit of nonsense :) 

Minor edit when I realised I'd unintentionally repeated one word. 

Best wishes xx

It's like a skipping rope chant for very sinister children, who may be hiding tails in their pants and cloven hooves in their shoes.

Odd. Odd is good, always.
