Conversation

We happened upon some mermaids sunning themselves.

It was a sight to behold and a smell we'd never forget.

Both delicious and uninviting. Like a salmon dinner that had been left in a used gym sock.

We approached all the same and we had a pleasant, if short conversation. The fumes were too much, and we had to bid them farewell.

As we left, we heard one utter, "How can they live smelling like that?"

Feeling's mutual, fishter.
