Mermaids

A nursery rhyme definitely NOT for children!

One, Two, Three, Four, Five,

Once a fish caught me alive.

Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten,

It didn't throw me back again.

It took me down to the bottom of the sea,

And had its wicked way with me.

Pretty soon that fish did spawn,

And my beautiful mermaid daughters were born.

Those girls very quickly grew quite large,

And enticed the crew from a passing barge.

They took them down to the bottom of the sea,

And each had their way with a man or three.

It was not too long before there were many fish.

With mammalian parts that were nice to squish.

And there were many men with smiling faces,

Sat beside the tidal races,

Hoping to be taken again to the ocean floor,

By a nice piece of tail wanting more, more, more.

OH MY STARS I LOVE IT!!!! This is fantastic! I actually threw back my head for a hearty laugh. This is so much fun! I can hear children skipping down cobbled streets sing-songing their "Mermaid" song. I can also see the older boys waiting over-long beside the water!

This was so much fun. Of course, given my flair for erotica - my favorite like is the last - by far and a way! You, my friend, have added a smile to my face and sunshine to my gaze. Thank you!

[The Iron Horseman]

Thank you, PL. I am glad you liked it and that it made you smile. I like to be frivolous now and again!

This blew me away! I just was wondering what about mermaid you were writing about... I wasn't expecting this, but I will say that I certainly wasn't displeased.

4th poem of yours I've read Iron Horseman, and I get the impression you're sitting there smiling as you write these, a slight smirk on your lips. Each has a light rhythm with almost tongue in cheek wording, and each has a pay-off close that ties it off very nicely. BRs Nigel

[The Iron Horseman]

lol! you got that dead right, Nigel, although I don't smirk, I smile! :) Certain things just pique my sense of irony or satire or whatever.

[MsJewel]
