A FISH TALE
There was a captain of a sailing ship
Loved sailing upon the deep blue sea
With shiny dark hair, eyes of brown
Six feet tall and handsome as can be
Known as the Romantic Buccaneer
Wearing silk shirts of orange and gold.
Stole coins from rich to help the poor
He was daring, handsome and bold
One day a pirate ship went sailing by
Full of treasure of diamonds and pearls
He looked through his long eyeglass
He saw the face of a pretty young girl
He knew he had seen the maiden before
His mind wondered where it could be
Then looked again through the eyeglass
The pirate's ship was sinking intothe sea
He sailed quickly over to the wreckage
The sea so quiet there wasn't a sound
His eyes searched for the young woman
Box of diamonds was only thing found
Picked up the box and sailed for home
The diamonds would go to help the poor
He kept thinking of the pretty young girl
Could she have washed upon the shore
For a moment he heard a voice singing
Something slashing all around in the sea
She was hanging on the side of the ship
Her large fish tail hanging into the sea
The woman, a mermaid from the island
Pirates had captured her in their fish net
As he leaned over the side to kiss her
Splashing her tail, got him soaking wet
Now when he sails past that tropical isle
Mermaid's songs brings back memories
That day long ago he fell in love with her
The mermaid from the deep blue sea
