Happy Sunday all! The following poem was composed to tell the story of how this mermaid came to be a lurid green. Happy viewing and reading if you do!
The Green Mermaid
They say I'm a sight never seen
Before - a mermaid coloured green.
It goes against Nature, they say,
To be green when I should be grey
Or blue or whatever's the shade
That's befitting of a mermaid.
Indeed, I have not always been
Glazed a lurid reptilian green.
Let me tell, in tones cold and low,
How both She and You made me so.
It came about when I found out
I was born a human without
A hint of trout till She cursed me
And deemed a mermaid I should be.
Yes, She, Nature, against me sinned
When together my legs she pinned
And skinned and clad them with gross scales
And bid me to swim with the whales;
To dive deep and to surf the foam
Of seas faraway from my home.
So, against Her who with a fin
Has cursed me, I a deadly sin
Resolved to commit and indeed,
My sheen is caused by my misdeed.
What sin paints me this mossy hue?
It's Envy. Yes, I envy You!
