Sea Legs

Off the ladder without a life jacket.
            “Her ascent, was imminent,” said the sea,
“I wasn’t up for all that drowning racket.”
Dives in with her orange vest - carefree,
                        holding handles, she’s propelled through the deep,
where many ghosts do not talk in their sleep,
and tears of loved ones join many who weep.
      The mermaid with a lucid tail; loose lips,
            her hourglass figure and tongue making flips;
                        she’s flippant about the she-human hips.
“What no swishy-tail?! Look at that jacket…”
            “She’s not a talent, like you…let her be…
      Look at those two legs…think of the upkeep.”
            In due time, she-human ascends, then slips.
