Answer: The poet's use of puns creates humor in the poem. Moreover, it gives each reader an opportunity to interpret the poem in his/her own way.

Explanation:

<em>"Love Song, With Two Gold Fish"</em> is a poem written by Grace Chua. It describes the relationship between the two goldfishes in a bowl. There was a strong connection between them, until the female fish wished to go to the ocean. The male fish, however, could not make her dream come true, as the two of them were "trapped" in the bowl, which made the female fish dissatisfied.

In the poem, the author uses puns (jokes that include words with different possible meanings) multiple times. For instance, he describes that the female fish makes<em> "fish eyes and kissy lips" </em>at the male fish. The two phrases, "fishy eyes" and "kissy lips" are puns, because they are a part of the fishes' appearance - they do have "fishy eyes" and a special shape of lips. However, the phrases can be also interpreted as a description of the relationship between the two fishes - the sign that the female fish gives to the male fish. This creates humor in the poem, and enables the reader to interpret it in his own way.
