Just love these types of dreams :)
I dreamt that I went swimming
In the deep blue sea
Along came a mermaid
Who swam right next to me
What most I remember
Is she pulled me underneath
Into a cave where it was dark
Deep, below the coral reef
She opened up my pocket
And she dropped a pearl inside
Then she said "Hop on my tail...
We're going for a ride"
She took me to a shipwreck
Decaying on the ocean's floor
And she wanted me to swim with her
Inside the captain's cabin door
Suddenly, we both swam inside
And she led me to some jewels
She said that they were thrown overboard
By some drunken pirate fools
She pointed to my pocket
With the pearl stuck in my vest
And she wanted me to take it out
So, I could return it with the rest
As soon as I returned the pearl
The mermaid lost her tail
Then, she walked the aisle with me
Wearing a "pearl white" veil
The next day before I fell asleep
I was happy and full of glee
Because I knew that I would kiss my wife
If I jumped into the sea
