An Ode to Monster Tanks

[Redearsunfish]

As i sat last night, as i do on many occasions, quietly lamenting the fact that i do not own a monster tank, i began to ponder on how much terrible anguish I suffer at the hands of what i call, "poor pockets", or perhaps more properly put, "empty wallet syndrome" - But then, suddenly, I was inspired to pen a ditty. I sang this song in an empty room, imagining a giant glass cube filled with light and bovine sized fish and garbage can sized canister filters. After, I ate a full cheesecake and went to sleep, still upset about my giant tankless ways. But at least I felt a little bit of joy as i drifted off to sleep quietly singing, with my wife asking me to shut it, .... enjoy.

O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Thy temperatures are so unchanging;
O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Thy fish are so large and engaging;
Not only warm when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Thy filters are so amazing!

O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Monster tank
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.

O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Thy lights shine so brightly!
O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Thy lights shine so brightly!
From base to canopy, white and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
Thy lights shine so brightly!

O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
How richly I have decked thee!
O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
How richly I have decked thee!
Thou keep me sane and faithful be,
And keep sump levels unchangingly.
O Monster Tank! O Monster Tank!
How richly I have decked thee!​

Say hi to the men in white coats, they are kind and friendly people and are going to take you somewhere nice.

 

[Redearsunfish]

Thanks. Will they have fish tanks there?

 

[Moloch]

No...but they'll give you enough drugs to make you believe there are...it'll be just like the real thing

 

[Redearsunfish]

I look forward to that then.
