Thoughts on The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel

I’ve been in the mood for fantasy stories and mermaids lately, so I was happy to get The Curse of the Sea Witches: A Little Mermaid Graphic Novel .

The Princess and Her Pearls

There was a princess with pearls

Deemed holy, good, and bright.

They would shine in the morning sun

And glow brightly in the night.

And she thought, “If it sees the pearls’ great glow.

“It will have a better life. I will give it some pearls.”

So the princess, meaning well, did so.


Then came a wild hog also.

“I’ll give him some pearls too,” the princess thought.

And she, meaning well, gave away

But the dog and hog trampled the pearls,

So much so they lost their shine.

The dog turned upon the poor princess

And so also did the swine.

***

Inspired by Matthew 7:6.
