THE UGLY SEA URCHIN MERMAID
THE UGLY SEA URCHIN MERMAID
THE UGLY SEA URCHIN MERMAID
AND THE BOUNDING SEA HORSE CHARIOT
An ugly sea urchin mermaid
Named Guinevere
Thus defamed
Because of a strange spell
Cast upon her fair face
Now piteous as hell
Her fair rosy rouge
Turned bitter scarlet
Her lips from pink to blue
The mermaid once wore a Queen crown
Now turned she to a sea urchin mermaid
With spiky and prickly
Arrows that grew upon her
Hunchback shell
So defamed, ugly
Untouchable and loathsome
Was she
That none of the King
Vowed to marry
For the spell cast by one
And broken by another
You'd never believe
And hence I'd tell
As a taleteller fabricates
By and by my entrancing little story
A strange bewitchment that befell upon the fair mermaiden
By the gods
A curse I suppose
For they wished to test true love and faithfulness
As sturdy as a bedrock
And wished to see
What a rock could reveal to humanity……
A test of sacrifice and glory
Before it returned her beauty again
Till then she would be one ugly urchin mermaiden
That none wished ever to see
Only one that would propose and be broken hearted
Where underneath the mysterious seas
This merman thereby a rock
Would change fate of her destiny
It all took place beneath mystifying magical Mariana Trench
Known for its traps and secret maps
And a silver Excalibur of God
That wedged in between a rock
And when the curse was broken
Would release a strange enchantment of a love triangle
Between a knight, mermaid and a future king
Sitting by prickles among
The ocean bed
She sat with sea urchins
For only they could
Recognize and truly marvel
At her ugly prickles
On her humble hunchback shell
That once her fair face
Full of cornrow braids, curls and knots
Glorified her beauty
They sea urchins
Rapaciously, encouraging
Rapturously sang songs of her
Incorrigible optimism and gutsy demeanour
For still she unabashedly
Drew her hobby chariot
Driven by fifty five
Sea horses vigorously and with great strength
Wearing magic Horse shoes
Dipped in sun's golden flames
Thus proudly rode she the sea horses
Dipped in holy fires
Forging ahead the battering waves
Of the barbaric sea!
Though burnt her slew in tatters and rags
Yet skilfully she drew her reigns
Of her fishy chariot
Beneath a strange reef
Called magical Mariana Trench
Where clowns, clout trout's
Rainbows, parrot fishes
Tiger prawns
Oysters, herrings
Seals, otters
Whales and starfishes
All sea creatures
Both small, tall
Curvy, long
Tiny or a dot
As miniscule a pin prick
Looked with awe and wonder
The ugly sea urchin mermaiden drive
The reckless waves upon her
Bounding sea horse chariot dipped
In sunny flames!
One such Merman Knight
That much before
In the beginning of the story
I spake about
Faked he did not love her
But Yay! Indeed deeply was he forsook
By her sharp spines, prickles
Needles and spindles
The arrows upon her hunchback shell that grew
Sticking out from the proud sea urchin mermaid
Riding upon her bounding
Sea horse chariot
Dipped in Sun Kings flames
Well! How did the chivalrous Knight Merman look?
Was a riddle for you to guess
For in vain if I reveal it to you now
You'd never be pleased at all
All I can do is describe his brawn
And many a sinewy muscles
Strangely he grew beneath
The churning rippling waves of the ocean
That sheltered him from storms and hurricanes
Unfurling like fury
Deep beneath the ocean currents
Underneath the fathomless ocean
Stood a mystical and beautiful castle
Made of limestone, calcite and magnetite
It's fortress as strong
As a thousand hundred tidal waves
One could n'ver destroy till all the world died
Now if you wish to guess the strange Merman Knight
In my story
Well! He was half human and half fish tailed
Merman Knight
Made fully of rock and granite
Serving Mer-King Arthur
And his round table full with glory
He buffeted with all his superior strength
His granite body and boulder shoulders
The waves of fury
That clashed Mer-King Arthur's mighty fortress castle
As mighty as an unbreakable granite
With his rock mace and bludgeon
When at battle he served with all furores
And shielded Mer-King Arthur's fortress from all misfortunes
Was indeed a hearty rock come alive
Valorous a Knight rock Merman
To be Mer-King Arthur's right hand!
Sir Lancelot
Alas! To fall for a strange Mer-Queen
Whose heart wasn't prepared
To fall in love and thus
Shape her rock of destiny
A strange fate that was sealed
In fact that
Led dear Sir Lancelot to be
A rock Merman Knave whose
Life at peril be in vain!
Threatened by a magical sword
Wedged between a rock heart
All for glorifying Mer-Kings Arthur's
Coronet upon his crowning tresses
And a beautiful love triangle!
The Mer-King Arthur's right hand
Rock merman Knave Sir Lancelot
Resolved stoutly to marry the untouchable ugly urchin
Mermaid of the sea named Guinevere
Riding the fathomless reef
Bounding by in her infamous sea horse chariot
Driven by fifty five horses
Wearing magical horse shoes and dipped
In sunny flames
Golden as her long golden hair
Now full in knots, curls and cornrow braids
Thus tainted was her beauty
After an unfortunate enchantment
A curse upon her befell
That transformed her beauty
Into a rare ugly sea urchin
With spines, prickles
Needles and spindles
Around her hunchback carapace shell
"My poor ugly sea urchin mermaid!"
Cried wretched Sir Knave Lancelot
Rock Merman forsook in love in vain!
Hopelessly fallen head over tails! And tails over head!
In love with the ugly sea urchin mermaid
Of the magical Mariana Trench!
Yet the ugly sea urchin mermaid
Kept her head proudly
High above the waves
That rocked the strange hobby
Driven chariot of fifty five sea horses
With magic horse shoes dipped in golden sun flames
Like a boat its chariot sailed
A tempest in a tea cup
She rode above the jagged rocks
Against profusely battering waves
That Sir Knave Lancelot
The rock Merman
Firmly held
As he buffeted the shore
Against his sinewy body of granite
And buffered her icy chariot
So she drove without any qualms
With salty thongs and shards
Along hems of salty brine and sea droplets
Of the shores peacefully
Her icy whip or thongs
Were Bladder wracks
Chains of rock wrack weeds
Thin and long
With rubbery pods and plastic cords
Deep beneath the chasm of the sea
She manoeuvred well above
As well quickly below the deceiving and beguiling
Magical Mariana Trench!
Guinevere along with the rock Knave Merman of Mer-King Arthur
Named Sir Lancelot
A brief affair commenced between the two
For Sir Lancelot the rock Merman
Vouched to give his brave heart of granite
Only to the ugly sea urchin mermaid
Riding her golden chariot
Of fifty five sea horses
With strange horse shoes
Bounding by
Dipped in golden sun flames
Then one fine day
Gathering raw courage, heart of granite and
Rock muscles
He threw himself on his bedrock tails
He prayed, he supplicated
And beseeched she marry a rock of granite Merman Knight
Alas! She answered still that she was too ugly to marry him
Though persuading, he cried to her till the very end
Urging the ugly sea urchin mermaid
To marry him again and again
Without any reservations or hesitations
Not sparing an inch
Or budging an iota
His bedrock tails firmly swished
The rock gravel beneath the oceans floor
Till she reciprocated with sublime devotion
To accept his rocky request
Though whether his request would be accepted
By sea urchin Mermaiden Guinevere
'Twas yet to be seen
For her approval seemed as rocky as the ocean floor
Sir Lancelot the Knight Rock Merman
Still put forth humbly his bargain or plea
To thus accept him firm as a rock could be!
From Rocky Mountains of sea
Whence he came from thence
Beneath the magical Mariana Trench
As he supplicated again and beseeched
"I'll shelter you in my glistening cave bosoms
And give you my Rocky sinewy muscles
Arms as well buffered heart
A boulder shoulder to cry upon
And a heart as faithful as a immovable rock
Please accept me fair maiden
Shall we live together forever
An ugly sea urchin mermaid
And a chivalrous rock Merman
Deep beneath tumultuous waves
As husband and wife"
But all that Guinevere replied in vain;
"Pray trouble me no more
Precious Sir Knight Lancelot
My broken Merman rock
For I shan't marry anyone
Till my fair face returns
Rich kiss curls of gold, cornbraids and knots
Glisten upon my forehead
My high cheek bones
Turn truer than an ugly scar reef
For a face now devoid of colour
Thus returns
Blush of red rouge
And lips colour of pink anemones
From black and purple
No more arrows piercing
My curved hunchback shell
So flee from me O' broken
Knight Sir Lancelot the rock merman
For I fear I am yet not ready
To hand over my heart to anyone
As much as a sea maggot or flea
Flee from me
Dear Knave Sir Lancelot rock Merman
And let me be free"
For yet her answer was No!
Thus broke Knave Sir Lancelot
Rocky Merman's heart in vain to two
And turned him dead once again
A forsaken rock he soon became
Into a granite hard and embittered of the sea
And cursed he be by the Higher Order with a sword
A Supreme Power thus extolled
'A gleaming Excalibur shall plunge inside
Piercing right through his granite heart
If ever he be alive again
A Mer-King would have to remove
It from his stony chest
The rocky ribcage that supported his granite heart
Deep within a magic Excalibur
Wedged in between his stony chest and ribcage'
Thusly withheld a strange secret in 'twain
"Rocky heart and hearty sword"
The stony heart that the Excalibur plunged into
Deep inside it's rocky chest cavity
Revealed thence
To the stunning rock and fishy humanity
"Anyone that conquered such an arduous feat
Such as remove a magic sword
As such a splinter or a thorn
From inside the heart of a rock Merman now dead
Would breathe life back into it
And turn him alive a hearty rock Knave again
Whilst return beauty to a Strange forsaken Mer-Queen
That by a strange wicked enchantment
Was cursed to be an ugly sea urchin mermaid"
Deep below the churning waves
Of fury and ferocity
Unrestrained with frenzy and might
The God's hath bestowed power upon a gleaming rock
A hearty rock valiant and upright
Knave Merman Sir Lancelot
Who was once a loyal servant serving
Good Mer-King Arthur
Now a gleaming Excalibur pierced like an arrow
Right through his stone chest
Into his stony ribcage and his rock heart
Whence rightly be deemed
Anyone who removed the gleaming sword
From the stony heart it punctured
Would truly be a Mer-King
To wear a befitting golden crown upon his silvery head
Breaking the enchantment of the spell
On the ugly sea urchin mermaid
Of Magical Mariana Trench
As well as returning back to life
Rock heart of loyal rock Merman Knight Sir Lancelot
Of Mer-King Arthur
All swore by the glistening Excalibur
Rest of the Mer-King's from surrounding reefs
To extricate the shining Excalibur
From the gallant rock Sir Lancelot's stone chest
Though all Mer-King's tried very hard to retrieve
The shining Excalibur
From dead Merman's sturdy rock chest
Failed all in vain!
Miserably
Only one Mer-King knew for certain
The strange secret contained in the immovable rock
The silver Excalibur pierced into
That only a Good Mer-King
Possessing a heart of gold
Would accomplish such a rare impossible feat
Who was master of the silent deceased rock Merman…..
Dear Mer-King Arthur
At his round table of Knights all discussed
"A sword shall it free from a rock
And Rock heart from a sword shall it release!"
All took place in a cove
Beneath the reef
Called magical Mariana Trench
The Mer-King Arthur
Valiant and proud
For he knew the mystifying secret
Withheld by his monstrous
Though faithful rock servant
That Knave Sir Lancelot the rock Merman
Had whispered one jubilant day
In Mer-King Arthur's ear
Before he died and changed to solid rock by a supreme power……
"Only if young, stripling Mer-King Arthur removed
Excalibur wedged deep within his rocky heart and rocky chest
Wouldst return alive hale, hearty and whole once again
To serve him a faithful sturdy knight
Rock Merman Knave Sir Lancelot"
Thence Mer-King Arthur whispering again into the ear
Of his broken rock Merman
He murmured to his faithful deceased Knave
Sir Lancelot the Merman rock
Such that even dead come alive
And he thus obey
The command made by the righteous Mer-King
Inside the broken ear
Of his broken rock Merman Knave
"I shall remove the arrow
From thy heart
The sword that plunges inside your stony ribcage
As you once protected me
Thy own Mer-King
The Valiant Arthur
My fair Knave Rock Merman Sir Lancelot
Shall I thus save you from your fate
And turn you back into
My monstrous faithful
Servant Knight Merman Rock Sir Lancelot
Breaking the spell from this strange enchantment
Thence rewarding
A golden crown for my silver head befittingly
And breathing life
Into your broken heart and spirits once again!
Turning alive your hearty stone soul"
Thusly drawing the silver Excalibur
With no trouble at all
As a knife from a wedge of cake
Or a thorn from flesh
A splinter from a toe
He extracted the glistening silver sword
From his stony rib cage
Protecting the arrow spell
Cursed within his broken heart
Thence like a dutiful servant
The rock Merman Knave Sir Lancelot obeyed
The granite hard and embittered
Turned pliable, flesh, bones, tails of bedrock and
Turned once again his faithful knave
Sir Lancelot the rock Merman who Mer-King Arthur trusted
With all his heart
Thence the bewitching spell was undone Lo! Behold!
The curse broken forever!
At the same time uplifted veils
That once underneath
Hid an ugly sea urchin mermaid's face
Proudly drove once again in her stunning chariot
Now bright, beautiful
Flawless and pretty
Without any archers arrows
Sticking on a hunchback body
Her shell disappeared
Once more was she beautiful and bold
A pretty Mer-Queen named Guinevere
Blossomed a blushing mermaid in full glory
Like an ocean sea anemone flower!
Now that the glistening sword
Was wedged no more deep inside the rock knave
Sir Lancelot's the rock Merman's heart
He proceeded to serve the Mer-King happily and loyally as before
Whilst young, stripling Mer-King Arthur taken up by the
Beauty of the fair mermaid Queen
Riding her sea horse chariot
Driven by fifty five horses
Dipped in suns golden flames
Pledged to marry her and make proudly Guinevere
Mer-Queen of his towering castle
That Knave Sir Lancelot the rock Merman
Protected against billowy tides with all his stony might again
Thence he whispered now into the Mer-Kings ears
The fair maiden Guinevere's precious name
For he believed with all his stony heart
'Twas fair that the righteous Mer-King Arthur
Win Guinevere's the mermaid's fair hand
One good turn deserves another!
For Mer-King Arthur had uplifted
The wedge from his knight's stony heart
And released him from the harrowing curse
The 'Arrow spell' that the Excalibur pierced
Into mossy granite heart of his ribcage stones
A strange enchantment by the Gods
That fell unfortunately upon Knight and Guinevere
Like a Twain sided double edged sword………
Only till Excalibur would be extricated
From his stony chest
Would Knave rock merman
Sir Lancelot turn undead
Whilst Guinevere a spell would be lifted
From a damned prickly sea urchin
Back to a beautiful princess
Which his master did courageously
Deliver his faithful knight rock merman
Turning him alive back again
Deep under blue blue ocean
At the same time
Returned beauty immortal to sea urchin mermaid Guinevere
From an ugly face and spiky carapace
Sea urchin mermaid!
So rock merman Knight let not the moss slip beneath his tails
Returning his gratitude like a faithful servant
Told Mer-King Arthur where she lived
Deep beneath a cove in the icy reefs below
Magical Mariana Trench
Mer-King Arthur valiant and proud as he was
Spurred his tails upon his sword fish
Like a boat that sputtered
And with shining silver Excalibur
Sheath and armour
Drove it gallantly
Till he reached along with his Knave rock Merman Sir Lancelot
Her secret cove beneath the magical Mariana Trench
Young and handsome Mer-King Arthur
Declared the besotted love he felt for the
Glorious Mer-Queen Guinevere
Mer-Queen Guinevere taken aback
By sunny aureole of Mer-King Arthur
She had not forgotten loyal Rock Merman who once hath
Professed his undying love for her
But now subsided the molten lava
Of his erupting volcano rocks
He was filled with admiration for mermaid Guinevere his old flame
Now handed over the rock Merman knave
Beautiful mermaid Guinevere
To handsome Mer-King Arthur
Sir Galahad was Knave Lancelot's the rock Merman's son….
Sir Lancelot had married with one merman son
Now about five and a half years old
The little button merman unveiled
The parody of the strange Merman and Mermaid's tale
Swishing his short and sweet Bedrock button Merman's tail
Their stories once above the water
On land were prodigies of history
An Ageless and charming
Love story that beheld
Strange, mystifying secrets
Of rocks, glistening scabbards, swords, stones
Sea horses, chariots, kings and queens
And a strong buttering castle
Made of limestone, calcite and magnetite
Beneath the tumultuous waves
Of the ocean's magical Mariana Trench
Thus elucidated the great saga
Of the earth's core, sea reef, volcanic molten lava
All in an amalgam
The glistening Excalibur
Upon Sir Knave Lancelot's carved stony heart
Inside his granite rib cage
And the ugly sea urchin mermaid
Now beautiful Mer-Queen Guinevere
Bounding in her endless sea horse chariot
Of fifty five sea horses
With magic horse shoes dipped in gold
Wherefore let us be grateful!
To call it 'A Sunshine story'!
Fingers crossed
Rest was history I suppose
Caterwauling like a beautiful piked cat
Chrysanthemum urchin sea flower
Once poor Guinevere was supposed to be
Mews of a catty foxy Mermaiden
Upon her gilded ghost chair of a horse chariot
Cherished she now to be a dutiful Mer-Queen
Bold, upright and loyal
To future Mer-King Arthur
And his round table of Mer-Knights be hailed
Ruling righteously forever
Down below the rocking sea
Cutting with cutlasses and sinewy arms
The reckless waves
His right hand too
Rocky knave Sir Lancelot!
