The fish pond

I remember from my childhood
Visiting mum and dad's friends
They had no children of their own
So I was at a loose end there
Outside they had a massive fishpond
I loved to watch those colourful fish
They had hundreds and hundreds
Of huge shining goldfish: swimming
In that long shallow pool: just for their fish
I saw golden, white and pink patched fish
Swimming in the sun; dazzling my eyes
How I loved to watch them swim back and forth
Instead of getting bored: I made my own fun!
