This Genie's No Jeannie

A curvy mermaid once spotted me Fast asleep 'neath the shade of a tree -- She cried, I grant you a wish I'm a genie, not a fish -- Said I, Wow, genie, please marry me... You should be careful what you wish for My 'genie' was a fish to her core -- Always stayed in the ocean Knew not wifely devotion -- Go make love to a fish from the shore July 26, 2019 Two Sea-Themed Limericks Poetry Contest Sponsor: Tania Kitchin Contest Result: N/A

I'm behind the times I guess when it comes to TV. Stopped watching in 1978... Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to imagine making love to the mermaid. Sounds a bit dicey. Ha, ha. Thanks for the comment, Andrea. Best wishes, gw
