Who is the Mississippi Mermaid?
Her decision to go public follows a rash of calls to the Driskill Mountain Wildlife & Oddities Department.
“We’ve had no fewer than 47 calls this summer alone,” said department director Earl P. Boudreaux. “Most of them go something like, ‘There’s a woman with a fish tail in my pond, please remove."
The following was transcribed from her first public statement, delivered outside the local Piggly Wiggly on a stationary shopping cart:
"Hello, Darlin'.
I've been swimming these river waters for about 3,749 years. That's a long time to float and think.
Have I got a tail for you...
SHORT POEMS!
EASY TO READ!
HARD TO FORGET!
Now, they're telling me it's gonna take 8 years of testing before they let me out loose in the world on my own.
'People' things I gotta learn...
Be my friend and help me out,
make an excuse for a mermaid party.
I just wanna help ya keep swimmin'...
And I've been swimmin' these river waters for 3,749 years!
That's a long time to float and think.
Now these are my
messages in a bottle...
just for you."
- Love, The Mississippi Mermaid
