And the monstrosity walks up again to tap on my tank. GOOD MORNING ***** You may think I don't remember much, but guess who forgot to change my water last night, ha-cha-cha! Your lucky I'm still living! I'd leave to save you the trouble but we both know I don't have that choice. Just so you know, wearing the same underwear two days in a row is never acceptable, no matter the species. When you feed me crumpled gold fish crackers, I start feeling like a cannibal. I'll make you a deal, flush me and we'll call it even. After living with you for three weeks, I think I'll take my chances with the sewer alligators.

Lament of a fed up Gold Fish
And the monstrosity walks up again to tap on my tank. GOOD MORNING ***** You may think I don't remember much, but guess who forgot to change my water last night, ha-cha-cha! Your lucky I'm still living! I'd leave to save you the trouble but we both know I don't have that choice. Just so you know, wearing the same underwear two days in a row is never acceptable, no matter the species. When you feed me crumpled gold fish crackers, I start feeling like a cannibal. I'll make you a deal, flush me and we'll call it even. After living with you for three weeks, I think I'll take my chances with the sewer alligators.
So, I have always wondered what animals would say if they could comment on how humans take care of them. Kind of a weird idea.
