Well who wouldn't prefer a cat like that? Or any cat really. I think cats are - almost universally - better than goldfish.
But I am curious: were you 18 or 8? I thought 18 was an odd age to be given a goldfish, but then your poem said 8, and I think that does make more sense...

I agree!
I was 18 in real life - a strange present, indeed - but 8 was MUCH more convenient for the poem's scansion 😂
I see! Poetic license. My parents gave me a "happy 9th birthday" card when I turned 18. And a drum kit.
haha! Amazing! did the drum kit make up for the card?
I did like the card, it was a kind of in-joke. But yes, the drum kit would probably have made up for anything. Better than a goldfish.
definitely! 😂
