(The Mermaid)

When I was diving in the bottom of the ocean
I fell in love with the most beautiful of mermaids.
I was without a doubt the happiest human being
And we married at the beaches of Caleta.
Nine uneventful months passed
But near the thirteenth month
She fell gravely ill.
We had a baby mermaid
Just a year after we married
He had the face of an angel
And the tail of a fish.
One morning, some shark soldiers
Brought me to Neptune’s court
I was accused of eating the mermaid for breakfast
On Good Friday.
As no one believed my story
I was sent off to be shot
When all of a sudden my mermaid appears
And tells the whole truth.
We had a baby mermaid
Just a year after we married
He had the face of an angel
And the tail of a fish.
