I wrote this poem after I came across a photo of visitors to Merlion Park Singapore trying to position themselves to appear to be drinking from the fountain of water spouting from the Merlion statue.
A mermaid with a lion head
Much water doth it spout
A thirsty man looked up to wait
His body fat and stout
Into the river, water sprayed
So deep down did it sink
Alas! In vain did Thirsty wait
No water did he drink
Mermaid with a lion head
