The Unfortunate Turn of the Tide


Story as old as time.

Underwater princess

Always wanting more.

She finally finds love,

But with a human.

Poor Ariel.

Can’t be happy apart.

The choice seems clear.

Unhappy with fins,

Or happy with feet.

After a struggle with dad,

She wins.

But what you don’t know is…

It wasn’t all she hoped it would be.

Poor, poor Ariel.

Stuck with feet,

And a broken heart.

Poor,

Poor,

Ariel.
