Mermaid's Lore

Whoever said Dead Men
Tell No Tales,
Surely,
Never knew even one.

For I have known many and
Surely the tales they’ve spun
could NOT be contained
within the deepest depths,
of any ocean.

They say the tales of mine
are such whales.

They scoff and mock my every lore.
Yet my tales they spread
from sea to sea
with great glee
for one and all to hear.
