A Sam N Fish Story

Sam N. Fish fell in love with a mermaid
At the wedding her gills started to fade
  After a cup of water
  She said, I guess we 'ought-er'
Rent a submarine in the everglades...

Sam N. quickly looked into the matter
Saw that his bank book had to be fatter
  Sam bought some blue-chip stocks
  Then he got a huge shock
Market was underwater ~ so sad, sir

What a clever play on words: Sam N and sammon. Had to laugh at the thought of a submarine in the Everglades where the water is shallow. Unfortunately, stocks are going crazy now. If we beat the pandemic, maybe they'll steady. Enjoyed your limerick, Gershon! Hugs, Carolyn
