Soap in the gills

Sober wasn’t the state…
and this statement comes
much too late…
but I’d like to confess
I took Orangepeel out of his tank
and put him in our sink
while we waited for the tub
to fill up.
And then he bathed with me;
I felt he needed a scrub.

Needless to say, he died today
and I am pretty sure I’m to blame.
