I am the mermaid.
Find me naked underneath the sun.
Ah, but I am not the only one.
Hidden deep below the sea
Wait many more like me.

I am the mermaid.
Jealous of the warm dry land.
Tired of the endless sand.
Your soft green grass would be my death
Would break my heart and take my breath.

I am the mermaid.
My silken illusive siren like song
Mere man cannot resist for long.
Seaweed, sand, pearls and shell.
You’ll find me midst the ocean’s swell.

I am the mermaid.
Beware the storm wherein I swim
My plan for man I fear is grim.
Regard my folklore with renown
Lest tis you the green eyed mermaid drown.
