Mermaid's Moon

It's a Mermaid's Moon; See the ripples like water, Try to hear the splashing And faint tinkling laughter. The clouds are hiding The mermaid's fun; They don't come play Under burning sun. I see their shadows In the sunset's glow- It makes me glad I can see the show. Hide and seek Is among their games But mermaids rarely Play the same again. Their favorite game In the ocean blue, Is to catch a man And to steal his shoes. They'll play with shoes All day, so beware them Maybe its because They've no feet to wear them?
