A Jolly Fisherman
One day, a jolly fisherman called Dave,
While sailing was shipwrecked, by a huge wave.
Still gasping for air, Dave only could stare,
At a gorgeous mermaid, with long blonde hair.
Who rescued him, as he clung to a rock.
By helping Dave, to recover from shock,
She sang a soulful, sincere serenade,
Luring seafarers, set sail to give aid.
Then she submerged, with one swish from her tail.
Now who would believe, this far-fetched regale.
For all of his tales, seemed jolly good fun,
Unless there is truth, in this latest one.
