Swim in Peace, Rigor

He wasn’t just a fish, he was a vibe,

Fins flared out like he owned the tide.

Struttin’ round that tank with flair,

Like, “I don’t swim — I glide through air.”

He’d stare you down if you forgot to feed,

Flip his tail with attitude and speed.

A little splash just to say, “I’m here,”

Rigor ruled with sass and no fear.

So swim in peace, Rigor, king of the bowl,

With a heart too fierce for a tiny fish soul.

You gave us laughs, you gave us sass,

Flippin’ shade through the tank glass.

Now the castle’s empty, the water still—

But your fishy spirit always will

Live on, with bubbles and grace…

In that sassy little fishy place.

He’d strike a pose near that neon rock,

Like he was modeling for fish TikTok.

No other goldfish quite compared,

With his “don’t touch me” diva stare.

He didn’t need no fancy koi,

He was the drama, he was the joy.

A one-fish show in his own sea,

A true aquatic royalty.

So swim in peace, Rigor, sparkle and shine,

With a tail flip sharper than a line.

You made that tank your runway, true—

Now heaven’s pond is blessed with you.

We’ll keep your sass in memory clear,

Like a bubble pop we still hear.

Rest easy now, no more glass cage—

You’re flippin’ fins on a bigger stage.

Maybe just a fish to some,

But to us, he was the one.

With every wiggle, every splash,

He left behind a legacy of flash.

So swim in peace, Rigor, shine on bright,

Under rainbow currents and starlit light.

We’ll raise our bowls to you tonight—

Our little legend, outta sight.

No tank could hold your energy,

You’re free now in eternity…

Still sassy, still bold, still you.

We’ll never forget you, Rigor — true.
