Undead Fish from Cellular Fidelity by Gabriel Koenig

I once had a tank of fish
I fed them everyday
But one day I noticed that
They didn't take the food away

So I took a closer look
You wouldn't believe what I saw
The fish had died but they were still
Swimming around and all

Yeah they were swimming
Not just floating
They were swimming

If you wonder how I knew they were dead
Well they were half decomposed
Like zombie fish they wandered still
Circles in the bowl

I wondered how this had happened to them
Was it magic or a disease
Further still just what would I do
With these fish that had deceased

They had deceased
I was pretty sure

I kept them around and in a week
They were nothing left but bones
Still they were swimming
How though nobody knows

I wasn't scared, but I was creeped out
As cool as it may seem
I had to get rid of them
But I wanted to be humane

I wanted to be humane
I couldn't just flush them down the toilet

So I buried them
In the backyard tank and all
And I'll bet they're out there still
Swimming underground
