Down under the sea where mermaids dwell,
far below from where the tides swell,
there's another world just beyond our sight,
of which novelists and poets write.
Down under the sea where mermaids dwell,
perhaps sent there by violent gale,
there's sunken ships maybe filled with treasure
containing wealth beyond all measure.
Down under the sea where mermaids dwell
there are wonders of which words can fail,
in this habitat filled with awesome creatures,
donning variety of features.
Down under the sea where mermaids dwell,
to where there travels the great whale,
there are lengthy caverns which to explore,
which could even lead to so much more.
Down under the sea where mermaids dwell,
could be legends of which they tell.
One might even find where Atlantis lies;
of its existence or demise.
Down under the sea where mermaids dwell
can come many a haunting tale;
whether fact or fiction, who can be sure,
they're still enough to make the heart stir.
