When the cupboard is bare <br />And the cat’s had the cream, <br />Who cares about a dead fish? <br /> <br />When the house is on fire <br />And the birds have all flown, <br />Who cares about a dead fish? <br /> <br />When your loved ones have gone <br />And you’re left all alone, <br />Who cares about a dead fish? <br /> <br />When the seas have dried up <br />And the land is all desert, <br />Who cares about a dead fish? <br /> <br />When the Sun has gone Nova <br />And we’re all blown to bits, <br />Who cares about a dead fish? <br /> <br />When it’s all empty space <br />And there’s nothing at all, <br />Even a dead fish would be worth caring about.<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/caring-for-a-dead-fish/
