The Furious Spinner

What would the Old Mermaids do?

That's what I was wondering as I was dancing in my living room, trying to shake off this exhaustion, this funk, this anger and irritation. What would the Old Mermaids do if they encountered someone like the little idiot who claimed he was a real man because he told his wife to shut-up and showed her who was boss in the bedroom (see previous post). They wouldn't even see him, he would be so insignificant. He'd be like a gnat, so maybe his buzzing might get a little annoying. It's possible one of them, most likely Sissy Maggie Mermaid (Sister Magdalene Mermaid), might notice him for an instant and she'd say, "Come back when you grow up. Right now I'm busy falling in love with the moon up in the sky and the coyote in the wash and sycamores in the mountain and the man down the lane and the woman up in the hills. Ain't got time for little boys who haven't learned about respect, let alone how to tie their own shoes." Although she'd probably be more clever than that because Sissy Maggie Mermaid could sleep through a monsoon, hurricane, tornado, or the hot air of some...people, so she wouldn't be hung over from lack of Zzzz's like I am.
