  THE LITTLE MERMAID-ALTERNATE ENDING


(Sebastian, is a crab and is little mermaid's i.e Muriel's best friend.You'll probably be able to enjoy this poem more once you've read the little mermaids summary on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid)


I thought of the little mermaid
And my heart wept
To know that she turned into foam
While her handsome prince slept

So,here is a poem
Depicting an alternate end
Because it’s just unfair
To continue Shakespeare tragic drama trend

So, let’s rewind a bit, go back to the time
When Muriel and Sebastian were having fun licking lime
The time, when Muriel was unaware of the prince’s existence
And hence didn’t need to take the dreadful substance

That converted her pretty tail into dainty and fair legs
And coaxed her sisters to obstinately beg
For a powerful knife to kill the price
Without any doubt or a single wince

But as her love was as strong as a mountain
she didn’t have the heart to kill
not even push the prince into the fountain!
yet, she retained her legs and voice
and the world gave her a second chance
to dance and love a man who’d fill her life with romance

For her, beautiful men interested her not
She wanted a good person, the marrying sought
And so she went to the bitchy witch
For suggestions to ask and what to ditch

She said she wanted to be a crab
although you’d think its such a drag.
and so the witch did her magic
and avoided the story being tragic

well as you probably know
they then lived happily ever after
until two Indian men caught them and put them in a jar
and served them in a 5 star hotel with hot garlic aachar…hehehe
