Am I to Old to Be a MerMaid

Am I too old to be a mermaid,
with my saggy boobs and wrinkly tum?
Am I too old to be a mermaid,
at least the tail hides my aging bum?
My hair is grey and thinning,
I have lost my flowing mermaid locks.
Shall I leave it to the younger ones,
to sit posing on the rocks?
But the ocean sets me free you see,
it's where I feel the most alive.
When I glide beneath the waves,
through the glistening surf I dive.
So I'm NOT too old to be a mermaid,
I shall keep swimming till I die.
You should do what makes your heart sing,
let's be mermaids you and I!
