Ode to Thomas...may you rest in peace (in the sewer system)


Thomas Pugh:
Born circa January 31st 2009
Died circa April 24th 2012

Thomas the fish our very first pet
we would have cleaned your tank more often...but touching you made mom fret

lucky for us, you thrived amidst depravity
mom claims it's what contributed to your surprising longevity

Jack counted you as a member of our clan
dad thought more cleaning should have been part of the plan

Marian prayed for you day after day
we're sorry we didn't notice when you actually passed away

A few words were offered when you were sent to your watery grave
Jack liked that you were blue, Marian liked the company you gave

For a fish, you lived longer than most
we're sorry you're toast

farewell our fishy little friend
