    "Albatross around the neck" is not a phrase I am familiar with in other contexts beyond the poem, nor does a google search return anything but references to the poem.

    RIP Tasha, April 1986 to November 25th, 2008. 22 years and 7 months of being the best kitty ever. You will be missed forever.

    RIP Finney Jr., June 1998 to March 18, 2011. Nearly 13 years of being the best goldfish ever. You, as with Tasha, will be missed forever.
