Mermaid Messes Around With Her Healing Hands

mermaid messes around with her magic hand
Spurts and sparks fly out across the water onto land.
I would not do that if I were you, a wise man says.
The next thing she knows she’s in a fishbowl with Inez.

Inez is miffed, her bowl is too full with this maid.
You need to go! You give me too much shade!
Mermaid whips her hand around in the air
And finds herself now in a grizzly bear’s lair.

I cannot get it right, she laments to the night.
You are okay, says the bear, you are all right.
But her fear is strong, her arm gives a shake.
She ends up in the middle of spirit lake.
