Mermen

Mermaids splashing in the sea
Mermen watching from the reef
Bodies writhing to the waves
Fins flashing tongues of fire
Neptune tossing a splashing wave.

Mermen catching a meal of fish
Whales singing in the currents
Boulders lining the beach afar
The mermaids flirting in the water
Tongues sticking to their cheeks
As plankton are drifting and wafting by.

Diving mermen are singing tunes
Their ballads winning the mermaid hands
Mermaids dancing to the flutes
Hands drumming the rocks in tow
Mermen marrying mermaid brides
Swimming far beneath the sea.
