Mermaid 🧜♀️
Josef Pazderka
Down in the sea, so deep and so wide,
Lived a mermaid with shimmering pride.
Her tail was sleek, her hair so long,
Her voice was sweet, her heart was strong.
But the fish all laughed, the crabs would scoff,
"The poor dear lost it, she's way off!"
Despite her claims, despite her stance,
She looked like an elephant at first glance!
Her ears were floppy, her nose was grand,
Her flippers? Like feet four on the sand!
Her tail? Not scaly, not slim, nor neat
More like a wrinkled, wobbly seat!
She’d sing her songs, she’d flip her hair,
But the starfish whispered, "Mermaid ain't her."
She started truly loving herself. She looked deep within.
She didn't care what the other fish were thinkin'
And from that day, she swam with glee,
A mermaid proud, wild, and free.
