Elf & Mermaid

Mermaid

Mermaid, Mermaid in the tub,

you splish and splash, as I gently rub

away, all of the day’s sticky dirt

and sooth life's bitter hurt.

In the water you love to play,

I wish I could join you someday.

Mermaid, Mermaid, your tail is so fine,

I wish that soon you will be mine.

Elf

The beautiful elf liked to stand,

on top the highest hill in the land.

In dark or light she would sing,

sweet music for the distant king.

Her soul pure, yet so very sad.

Her life hard, yet not always bad.

The beautiful elf wanted to be free,

she hoped for love, just like you or me. 



Missing Elf
 

In the land far off by the sea,

I stood for about a century.

Watching the waves come and go,

Feeling the rain, sun and snow.

Hopping to see my long lost elf,

I stood all alone, by my self.
