H E FELT A TUG about his back
And then his muscles all went slack
His skin turned glossy, black and slick
He started to pick, but it grew too quick...
My boy.
It was thin and pointed
I tried to anoint it
But larger and higher it got
Oddly enough, he liked it a lot...
My boy.
When it morphed into a dorsal fin
He could not even hide his grin
Then his legs stuck together like glue
Inseparable! That made me blue...
My boy.
His left then right foot splayed way out
I actually watched his fishtail sprout
He could not walk
Just flopped about...
My boy.
He now looked more like a dolphin
Than a kid fond of swimming and golfin'
I tried to keep him in a tank
But he said, "Glug! I gotta be frank..."
My boy?
"I see the sea not thee for me"
We sailed––SPLASH!–"Hard alee!"
It had to be; he dove in the sea
Windsong chanting, "Free, free, freeeeeeeee."
Merboy!
