Day 318: Goldfish

Goldfish
By Batsheva 10/15/10

Just because it's called a goldfish
Doesn't mean it's made of gold
Though your sandwich is a hero
It's not really all that bold

Names can be very tricky
'Cause they often do not mean
Exactly what they ought to
They're not always what they seem

A hamburger contains no ham
And a gumdrop isn't gum
A buffalo does not have wings
Some names just seem quite dumb

So when you make decisions
Try to do your research well
For there are many qualities
A name just cannot tell

Then you will be quite brainy
And when you're growing old
You won't go buy a goldfish
'Cause you think it's made of gold
