Once Upon a Crime
Had she thought longer about her life
Had she thought longer about her father, Trite
Had she only been more wary
Of the nameless apothecary
Who claimed he would give her feet
By no means did she think
That her feet would be stuck
In Los Angeles and no luck
Yes, this is Ariel as you might have thought
But this is no ordinary fight fought
It is the story of a girl
Who fell for Prince Eric, as shiny as a pearl
She met Eric on Fin-der, a dating site for the sea
But my, oh my, he was not the catfish she was expecting
Tattoos and piercings all over his body
No wonder Ariel couldn't resist his charm with ease
But as she fell deeper and deeper in love with the hun
She realized she was committing a crime; "Srea-son"
Day after day she cried and sighed over her new beau
Yet she could not understand the love that he did behold
Through kisses and holds she was not familiar
Especially when she looked in the mirror
Comparing herself to Inseagram mermodels and fish galore
She hated herself more and more
One day she broke down in tears
And suddenly she had no fear
With one last breath she took and at last
Away Princess Ariel was cast
