I couldn’t quite believe it

You had to be there you see

I ate flowers for breakfast

Drank seaweed beer for my tea

As the Sun was setting on solstice

I plunged into the deep blue sea

And that’s when the very thing happened.

As the full moon rose over me

I swam to the rock in the inlet

To see what was shiny and bright

And there was a beautiful mermaid

A dazzling sparkly sight

She had a long flowing hair of a silvery hue

A pink shiny body and a tail turquoise blue

An emerald fin which was striking and bold

And fabulous flippers in a eye catching gold

We lay on the rock together

As the sky turned a wonderful hue

Of pink and orange and yellow

And magenta and very light blue

I climbed on her rock to be near her

To sing her beautiful tune

And we sat there posing together

Under the light of the moon

Twas after on reading the legend

That the Midsummer mermaid appears

Only to those that dream fairies

And fight their most terrible fears

So yes you needed to be there

To see us both swim to the shore

And as I turned to the houses

The mermaid just wasn’t no more
