the fish ponds

 

The fish ponds

The crowded fishes

Jumping high or swimming away

Losing its way or afraid to float up


The buyers will crowd around

Looking to pick the right ones

The eyes scan the ponds of fishes

Trying to determine which one to pick?


The gate-keepers keep a strict look

They don't want unwanted food dump in the fish ponds

They don't want to clean up the ponds of dead fishes

They want to enjoy their lazy way holding court


The buyers all line up

Hearing the call of promotions

Free fishes to get in the ponds

As long as they can fish it up within minutes


The cooks will be on standby

In case some want to cook it fresh

The celebration of a victory

In the day of rain or flood
