I Always Wanted To Be a Mermaid

You know how the little mermaid wanted To be human and live on land Well I was constantly saying in a loud voice King Triton by your command Please, wave your magic staff that you Hold in your hand At me a child who has always wanted to Be a mermaid And live at sea. I know you can help me. Please, listen to my plea. On land I have practiced holding my Breath until I am blue in the face. I am fast when we have a relay race. I have learned how to empty my lungs So I can sit on the bottom of my pool Without having to surface. I took swimming and skin diving lessons To learn all your tricks. One of the hardest things was mastering The dolphin kick. In all of my widest dreams I did finally Become a mermaid. I live in a beautiful lagoon where I get Paid, I love it when I hear that other Little girls have said King Triton by your Command Please, wave your magic staff that you Hold in your hand. Who knows they may turn out to be like Me to live in the sea As well as on land By working at a water resort which is a Better plan.
