Alas and alack, the Admiral is gone!!!
Lord Horatio Nelson was a captain so great
He led in fierce battle and none could equate.
He fired his cannons and primed his guns
And defeated the French, the Spanish and Huns.
He was the great hero of sea battles all
A victor in life who stood not very tall.
Yet sadly today i must here declare
Horatio is dead, oh grief and despair!
He jumped o'er the side of his glassbottomed ship
And laid in the dust at the end of that trip
He languished and gaped as his time ran through
And pondered his decision, "oh what did i do?"
Why did i leap, up out of my bowl?
Why did I leave that water so cold?"
One simple statement, a life changing rule
Jumping out of a fishbowl sure isn't cool!!!
R.I.P Horatio

Remember that time on Monday night when I asked if your fish was still in his bowl?
That was either:
a) a premonition
or
b) what gave him the idea to jump.
I think I need counselling now, Susan.
