Aileen Koch - Grade 4 Hardyston Twp School, Franklin: Honorable Mention - Grades 4-6

My Fishy Friend

By Aileen Koch - Grade 4
Hardyston Twp School, Franklin

My fish is a friend
I'll have to the end

But he and me
are different you see

I'm very loud
He won't make a sound

I breath air
He wouldn't dare

I am big
He is small

But he is a hero
The best one of all

We go on little imaginary adventures
In his tiny little bowl

He makes me feel happy
When I don't have a soul

So that's my fish friend
I'll have to the end
