no sea foam or algal bloom
blemished this bride
her panties were stained
when she surfed the red tide
frayed fishnet stockings
over cellulite-plagued fins,
could scarcely camouflage
the manatee's limbs

mermaids are all gone
hairless apes disturb our seas
heed the last of the sirens plea

The sea held a mermaid named Myrtle,
Who was not inconceivably fertile.
She made love to a turtle, which was quite a hurdle;
What worked was a siren-like girdle.

approaching new seawall
a fair girl about five
jumped for her sandals,
couldn't reach them herself
