School Field Trip
Youth days at the aquarium are inimical to fishes,
for students feed the goldfish far beyond our wishes.
They agitate the sharks and rays by knocking on the glass.
They irritate the piranhas and terrorize the bass.
Scientific discovery is great for teens and tots,
but part of education is discovering the “nots.”
I think we’ll bring an ending to this day at the aquarium,
and for your next school outing would you please choose the terrarium?
Prompt words today were discovery, aquarium, youth and inimical.

I love your blog, keep up the great vibes!

That’s when he discovered that he could speak snake language; subsequently, he had an intimate confab with a python, who complained of loneliness and boredom, so Harry liberated him on the spot, i.e. accidentally dissolved the glass wall.
