Simple, abundant
Orange, redundant
They splash and wiggle
She starts to giggle
Tokens buy fish food
For the hungry brood
Funny suction lips
Taking little nips
She’s gonna leave this
Soaked in fishy drips
They jump, flip and flop
Someone get a mop

The short choppy sentences are perfect for this, they put me in mind of a fish going bub bub bub 😁 Love the video at the end as well, they're really cool!

Dear Ms. Leslie - While in Japan it amazed me how they'd eat ANY kind of fish - But the 'Koi's' were sacred - - Always my Pleasure - Jay
