There You Were

There You Were

The Little Mermaid

There you were,

Sitting on your rock,

Kind of nestled,

Kind of not: windswept.

Twisted contrapposto,

And the motion of the river,

Your hair it flowed,

With the motion of the sea.

But it was under,

The surface of the ocean,

The sailors knew,

Your kind soul.
