Filial Affection <br /> <br />I can hear her whimper in the night, I must get up <br />put my frogman suit on and go to her, she sits in <br />a cove dressed only in a sea weed jumper, there are <br />holes in her fishnet stocking; yes, you are right my <br />little daughter is a mermaid <br /> <br />It was July day long time ago when I met her mum, <br />the dolphin, a hopeless affair doomed to failure, but <br />did we try! The baby stayed in my swimming pool, <br />while her mother swam to the coast of Greenland <br />and feeding off the shrimps there <br /> <br />When my tiny girl became a teenager she went back <br />to her mother and they both swam to Greenland; and <br />I thought I should never see her again. Tired she sits <br />and waits for me. I must join her, in her world, now <br />that I sold my house with the swimming pool.<br /><br />jan oskar hansen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/filial-affection/
