mermaids and mermen
tails no genitals
but big tridents
very phallic and
not readily found
On land or
In my bed
or the pantry
next to pickles
MustardâŚmint sauce
Expired tins of
pilchards, fishy smelling
RustyâŚdented and
oozing juices from
every orifice, juices
that really shouldnât
be tasted by
anyone at all
Maybe âcept the
Member of Parliament
