Mermaid
If i was a mermaid I would frolic
on the white crested waves
appearing from the shore comic
then plunging down to the caves
Sunbathe on the warm rocks
diving down out of sight
so as not to give any shocks
nor frighten humans into flight
My voice so golden entices
if they follow a watery grave
will keep them in its clutches
until they are now enslave
Beauty of the oceans wide
pearl necklace I do wear
shells and seaweed applied
I don my translucent nightwear
As I travel the oceans like a flash
yet another heart or three i captor
although they struggle and thrash
I place them safe in my ardor
So warn your men least they stray
to wear a blindfold and mufflers
and to walk only on the causeway
only thus can they avoid my amors
