The soulful Cod.

little Ruby, on her third,
found a little fish.
"oh hello little girl" She thought she heard,
"would you like to make a wish?"
Excited Ruby shouted out
"are you a present from God?"
The fish rolled its eyes "What's that about!?"
"I'm just a magic Cod!"
"you might ask for love and happiness,
or a little mug of joy.
Tell me what you desire most!
Come on now, Don't be coy!"
Her little mind was in confusion,
What did she want most!?
She was offered a little pill of illusion,
but she preferred jam on toast.
The cod, little odd, little fish had a smile.
"do you want a perfect world?"
Ruby took a second, and then, a while,
"The concept is a little old."
"A world without chaos and delusions and fear
might seem really fancy, but, a bore"
The little fish now sported a sneer,
"oh look, there is a door"
the cod, little odd, little fish, stood up,
Lo! A pair of legs!
a face, two hands, two legs and a cup,
into which he poured two pegs.
"now, young girl, Do you want to know,
how this sunshine water tastes?
here, have a sip, I'm not a foe"
yes, he said that straight-faced.
A sip of that liquid was too much for her,
she wanted him to leave.
He added some sugar and gave it a stir,
"Come on, don't be naive"
She wanted this illusion to end,
"I wish to see the truth"
Suddenly her perception, started to bend,
and the cod man carried away the fruit.
