Ariel was just sixteen

when she grew tired of the sea.

For she fell for a man

who lived upon the land

and met once upon the sand.

She wanted legs for her own,

but her father said “no”,

so she set out to get her legs all alone.

So she went to the sea witch

who granted her wish,

her voice to take away her tail of a fish.

And she met him that day

but had no words to say,

but I guess that's the price you pay.

Ah, but Ariel was ahead of the game.

So she took out a pen and paper,

wrote the words that wouldn't escape her,

only then did they live happily ever after.
