Poem
The Mermaid's Rescue A lost and lone survivor of a sunken warship back into conciousness the sailor finally did slip All alone in the vast, vast empty water prairie fleeting thoughts of home and his sweet Marie! Hazy, crazy thoughts swirled in his aching head had he not drowned , O' why was he not dead Memories of being saved by an unseen guiding force O' but what a song , what a beautiful angelic voice! Visions soon appeared for his mind's eye to see of a beautiful creature rising to his rescue pleas Hair of radiant gold lying lovingly upon breasts bare a swimming angel appeared ever so swiftly there! Now waking upon this small and desolate rock feverish and deep in the throes of a tragic shock Suddenly hearing voice began to softly, sweetly sing his spirit , soul healed so quickly that voice did bring! Searching eagerly across the shining ocean's waves for a mysterious hero that did desperate lives save A wished for vision soon appeared at the water's edge a mere dozen feet from the jutting rock's lower ledge! The same beautiful face he saw in his vision's haze the magical creature he now knew his life had saved One even prettier than his cherished, loving wife Marie now it's entire form he could astonishingly see! A Mermaid ! Heavens how could such vision truly be strange tales, fictional legends of very magical seas Could this have been answer to his desperate pleas a vision so tempting that his faithful heart it did tease! Singing stopped and that voice began to clearly speak telling he had been fast asleep for an entire week A rescue ship would be arriving there that very day as it appears I must say goodbye and swim away! Final hours his Mermaid and he did pleasantly share he in awe of her glory, her sexy body and golden hair So many amazing stories of many a daring rescue feat telling of rescues where sister Mermaids even compete! Suddenly that promised ship raced coming in so fast sailor knew this was his only chance, his very last Please, he asked, will you give me a good-bye Mermaid kiss wished granted , Mermaid vanished into the deep, blue abyss! Rescued and now safely aboard his miracle life-saving ship his story told and nary a miraculous part did he dare to skip His tale he told to all that sat amazed at his strange ordeal so mythical and strange, even he wondered was it truly real!
