Sweet Mermaid
young sailor is besotted by beautiful siren from depths of the sea
she is giddy with a giggle that glides down to his toes with great glee
just below the surface two hungry sharks are waiting for her to lure him in
his type A blood smells tasty, they know for he has a small cut on his chin.
sweet mermaid is too pure to do the bidding of these two sharks with teeth.
she bids him good-bye and dives way down, below and beneath.
Jim is sad to see her leave, for he has no idea she was part of a plot.
she dives past those hungry sharks as if from a cannon she’s shot.
