THE STORY



THE STORY

I sat
By the 
Sea
All alone
Waiting
For 
A
Merman
To come
Along.

I heard
This
Tale
From friends 
Of mine,
That this
Merman
Was
One of
A kind.

To each
Of them
The Merman
Had presented
A rose
In attempts 
To woo
The one.

Alas, the
Roses
All wilted
Within moments
Of being
Touched. 

Now he 
Appeared
Oh so 
Handsome...

Water
Splashed
About as he
Got out.

Here, this 
Is
For you 
Lovely
Girl...

I took
The bloom
Blushing
While he
Sang of
Life under
The Sea.

At rhe end
Of the
Song,
The rose 
Remained
In full bloom
And he smiled
Saying 
Girl,
Ypurs is 
The heart
That belongs
To mine!

The rest
As they say
Is
A story
For history
On how
I was united
With the
King of
The Sea!
