The Rubenesque Mermaid
She is so corpulent! She is so oversized. She is so Rubenesque.
Eleanor felt strongly they meant her, and she loved it; it was for the best.
She had worked a long time to reach her present girth and statuesque.
In the land of the deep sea, being large was an asset, she could attest.
She swished her tail and showed off all of her sides, so firm and fair.
Of course, the water shook out her gorgeous locks of whitish hair.
She knew sailors would stare a her because she was all that and more.
Confidence, self-love and self-assurance firmly in place, in dear Eleanor.
