Silverfish

Urgh, Silverfish!

Scuttle away, or I’ll smack ya!

Your gross, darting runs,

Your ugly, pointy body.

Get out of the shower! We cannot be friends.

Ah, Silverfish!

You sneaky, snoopy-snoop.

You are quite fascinating,

With those tinsy legs

And your busy, slinky body.

Aye, Silverfish!

And so another day.

Here, let me have the bathmat,

But you can lurk round the toilet if you like.

I don’t need it till later.

Oh… Silverfish…

Lifeless, floating in the loo.

How did you get in there?!

What good was going to come of it?!

You clearly weren’t a real fish. I felt like we were friends.
