Bob's Dead

Bob's dead,
I'm not sure what to do;
He's my sons gold fish,
Should I flush him down the loo?

I've just been upstairs,
To read a story and say goodnight,
And he's floating around his orb,
It's not a pretty sight.

His beady eye is looking at me,
But his fins no longer move,
He still looks a healthy colour,
Although he appears to have lost his groove.

How will I break the news,
That his pet fish has died,
He's dealt with the death of dogs before,
Oh how I cried and cried.

But Bobs dead!
What ever shall I say;
I turned the orbs light off,
So he wouldn't wake and see the floating display.

....can this week get any worse? :(

I'm sorry if this is insensitive but......I had to chuckle at the fact you flushed "bob" down the loo.......my immaturity aside, I'm sorry about your loss 😘

@patdolan83 oh I've not actually done that yet! I've left him floating in the hope a divine miracle may happen over night. 🐠

We were about to flush one a few years ago...and at the last second he started swimming

@patdolan83 oh no😱😱

He was on his side for hours and not moving....so we put him in the toilet ready to flush, and I swear it was just like a movie, hand on the flusher and he sprung to life.....I hope a similar miracle happens for you

@patdolan83 Heh heh! Flushed alive! 😂 Just go to the pet store and get another Bob. Yeah sorry. I'm a little insensitive like @patdolan83 over here... 😘🐠🐟

Don't flush him down the loo! 😳

He deserves a decent burial just like any other pet, He was a member of the family. I know from experience how devastating the loss of a goldfish can be to a child. Hope I don't sound too dogmatic!

You could flush him down the loo but I've done that once at work and the fish was still there when someone went in there 😳

@BethyBoo Well then. That would be a surprise... 😳. 😂

Here's a little snippet to let you know how insensitive I am when it comes to fish.....my mum was in bed with the flu for about a week recently and when she felt better she asked me if I'd looked after the fish in the pond outside....I was like errrrrrrrmmm, I forgot we had fish 😳😝

@Klaire I think that's what we'll be doing. 😊

@BethyBoo oh my 😳

@patdolan83 tut tut. 😊

@eddie12309 Do you think you can find Bob's twin? 😏🐟

Blimey I read the title and got my hopes up... 😂😂😂👍☕

I remember when my sister was younger she got a goldfish and named it Bubbles (I know how original) well bubbles died so my mum phoned my dad in a panic and told him to get a new goldfish he came home with a massive big one we where lucky it even fitted in the bowl the next morning my sister came down and said oh my god my parents went silent bubbles is holding his breath she replied she now looks back and finds it funny after bubbles the big one died we put it in a box because it was to big for a matchbox and burried him

@patdolan83 @Klaire @Pawsy you'll be pleased to know Bob had a "green" burial yesterday in a biodegradable oatcake box. 😔😘

@leelee101 haha. I never thought of your mate when I wrote this. 😂😂 let's hope you never have to see those words again
