I Dreamt

I dreamt that I went swimming, Into the deep blue sea And from nowhere appeared a mermaid That had swum right next to me The next thing I remembered, She had pulled me underneath Into a cave, where it was dark Well below the coral reef She had opened up my vest And she dropped a pearl inside And then she said, "Hop on my tail... You're going for a ride." She had taken me to a shipwreck, On the ocean's floor And she wanted me to go with her As she pointed to a door So, then we swam inside the door And she guided me to some jewels That long ago, were thrown overboard By some drunken pirate fools She then pointed to the pearl That she had stuck inside my vest And wanted me to take it out And return it with the rest As soon as I returned the pearl The mermaid lost her tail Then just like that, she walked the aisle with me And she was wearing a white veil The next night when I had fallen asleep I was as happy as can be Because, I dreamt about that mermaid; again This time...she had married "Me"
