Poem
The Mermaid Songs Once upon a time, as school was coming to it’s yearly close. We’d read about mermaids and their songs of Golden prose. Now, the witch was over visiting and heard everybody’s sighs. They so, wanted to sing with mermaids, and thru the waters glide. Dragon was the worst, as he grabbed my mop top to become his hair. Then he flew out to the lake dock, and began calling those ladies fair. I began thinking how sad, if my Dragon never did meet this ladylove. The witch, tears upon her face, then brought that, which he dreamt of. It seems, while on her yearly travels, our witch once met a lovely mere. Who was fascinated with the tales of Dragon, and the antics he did stir. Suddenly, they were there together, a wish granted on a witch’s whim. Dragon became so very quiet, as a first blush of shyness, ran over him. The mermaid laughed and giggled as she took the mop from off, his head. Then she sang a soulful song as she began to touch his wings and said... Where I come from you’re a legend, a story of days, from, long, gone bye. To this he just smiled. Yes, our Dragon had turned smitten, and so very shy. It lasted only a moment; until she asked him, to please, take her to the sky. Two dreams became one as they traveled the skies, and then the water nigh. She also, met Dragons penguins, the first she had ever been able to meet. Them from cold, and she from hot…now in the middle all were complete. Suddenly the mermaid had the idea, to bring in more of her mere folk. What? You thought they only sat, singing and giving their hair a stroke? We invited the neighboring swim teams, accapella groups, and families. And don’t forget the Glee Clubs, plus the Barber Shop Quartets, you see. Actually, everybody came to do, even barbecues for Dragon and his guests. Once a week all summer, the fun continued, but never the same, not once. It was a summer to be made into legends, for all our days and those beyond. And each time, we honored the witch, who’d let us learn the Mermaids songs.
