I Stink of Fish

I skinned a fish with my right hand
Scent lingers it doesn’t smell grand
I’ve washed my hands twice
They STILL don’t smell nice
It’s something I don’t understand!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/12/2019 6:06:00 AM I smiled thinking of how many days later I have smelled fish, and onion thinking "didn't I wash these hands?" Sometimes it takes a full bath Jan.
