Sandra Haight Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

A Mermaid Named Pam

A Mermaid Named Pam


Out at sea, a poor mermaid named Pam-
far away from her neighborhood swam;
richer waters she'd try
to attract a new guy
on a pirate ship planning a scam.

'Cause big treasure she needed to find
her life hadn't been any too kind-
she was missing a fin
and some scales on her skin-
but a pirate with patch is half-blind!
