My Mermaid of mysteriousness 🧜‍♀️

As I stood shocked and surprised at what I’d witnessed shivering with the cold

There this mythical Mermaid of mysteriousness sat upon a rock as bold as can be

But when I shouted out ‘Hello fine maiden” she suddenly splashed into the salty sea

Now perhaps I should have whispered my welcoming, I didn’t intend to fright

Whilst she was listening to her Merman lovers lamented lullaby on that sparkling, starry night

But I swear I saw a Mermaid in that pale moonlight

She had a long beautiful tail, it was a Mermaid alright..

Well I searched for ages and ages to see her again

As that big old man in the moon did wax and wane

And  her splashes of the sea had left a slimey stain
