They were beautiful creatures, swimming in their 5-gallon tank
Like careless angels blowing star like bubbles of joy
Happily alive, and algae free, for food Maria they thank
Resting upon aquatic plant leaves, there was never a motive to destroy
But happy bubbles do not always stay afloat
A foul smell arose, and the water became murky
“Clean that dirty fish tank!” Maria’s mother left a note
Having no idea of their fate, the fish were still perky
Maria had things to do, and cleaned the tank in a hurry
She didn’t know that her haste would lead in the water being too hot
Her fish are now fit for a curry
The fact that the death was her fault left her stomach in a knot
Her mother assured her that everyone makes mistakes
And that the creatures would not be served at any neighborhood clam bakes
