The Mermaid's Way

Neath a moonbeam
  reflected pond
    dream after dream
      we vagabond

Through night’s follies
  they ride the waves
    stringed waterlilies
      a path it paves

Underwater
  mermaid’s whisper
    candied kiss spur
      luna’s daughter

Actually, I've been told mermaids are cold and slippery like eels. I donno. I want to believe they are warm and cute. Cute mermaids, Line)

Now what kind of cynic told you mermaids were cold and disgusting to touch?!! Don't believe a word of it, Kurt.
