Mermaids
Hidden from view her dulcet voice rings out
carrying her dreams across the ocean with no doubt
She knows one day she will find him as she sings of love
as she swims the ocean she is met by a white dove
A letter it holds in its beak from a mortal man
her voice has enthralled him, although it carries a ban
Curious she swims to the beach where he is sat
only once there she finds him a bit too fat
Sighing she continues her lonely search
a voice rings out calling her to a rocky arch
There she espies the merman from her dream
together at long last, they swim now as a team
At long last she is no longer alone, to him she is now bound
together their songs sing out filling the ocean with magical sound
