The Mermaids Ball .

The  mermaids  ball  music  still  lingers .

Swordfish  Fred  and his shoal  of  sweet singers

Had  a  whale  of  a  time

On  the octopus  slime

Caressed  by  their  salty  fish-fingers .

An Irish double Sean ,congrats.Only caught the highlights (or lowlights in your'e English) still till time for Johnno to get it right on the night.Glad you guy learnt the lesson of Cardiff and booted the ball into touch.Thought Wales gifted the game to the French.Happily did not catch the game in Italy.Rgds Brian & thanks for your always welcome comments.
