Drunken Koi Poem by Mohamed Nasir

My koi fish are swimming
as though they were drunk.
The groggy koi, poor fish,
brightly coloured one gold
and black two orange with
black spots another purely
white shimmering in sunlight.
Swimming sluggishly in a daze
uppedly at the surface
gasping for air almost dying.
Because by mistake
I pumped into the pond
too much chlorine water
and if they were humans,
if they drink and swim,
they might get drunk and drowned.
But my drunken koi won't drown.
Blank eyes lost graceful motion,
swimming lazily mouth open and shut
looking glum mumbling sadly who is
the bloody idiot that put too much
tap water into their pond.
