Mermaid of Skegness

Mermaid of Skegness

Unlike the maid of Zennor,
The Mermaid of Skegness
used to be a fellor,
But political correctness
Lists he/ she as what
he identified ...
it nearly was an umbrella..

It rains so much..in the sticks,
on the planes,
When the sun shines,
She gets her kicks..
just the same.

Singing in the shanty bars
down Chip Pan Alley..
Dancing into the wee small
hours..
Like Billy Butlins granny..

Beware her wailing..
it's not the wind turbines
a whirling .
it's her eerie banshee call
that will send you sailing..

In this mermaids tale,
there are no boats
in Skegness....
So none can sail..
nor fall under
the spell of her hex

and this makes
the Jolly Fisherman laugh..
as he waves from his
safe harbour..
in the Cafe.
