Fresh waters caress my ankles
My smile even the sun rankles
The drops on my skin become pearls
To the most sensible of girls
*
Silver arrows whiz in the waves
Racing each other to the caves
In which warming rays will not sink
There they take cover in a blink
*
Following their flickering lights
I join the fishes in their fights
Curious to see what the prize is
I'm here to make water fizz
*
While my efforts aim to please
To the game I find the keys
Their bodies going all about
If I don't act, they'll win, no doubt
*
My legs unite in one long stem
Watch magic sew along the hem
The seams of a shiny blue tail
See, now I dive in without fail
*
As they see me fishes retreat
Since their new queen they'll have to treat
Bring presents from abyssal reefs
That I will prefer to a thief's
*
Far behind me, on the grey shore
My dull coloured rags stay a bore
Don't make me laugh, they will stay there
Who needs those clothes ? I don't need air ...
