Wendy Watson Poet Limerick

Perfect Match

A woeful young mermaid once sighed
'I shall never be anyone's bride!'
For to walk up the aisle
Would be oh, such a trial
Seems alas! to this rock I am tied!

A merman in search of a mate,
Said 'Darling, it's never too late
I'd be such a good catch
And our chromosomes match,
Though my sperm count is up for debate!
