Salt water [apparently] puts hair on your chest

All morning “Sea Lion Woman” rang through my head…

“Sea lion woman
She drink coffee
Sean lion woman
She drink tea”

Being a sea lion woman seemed so intriguing.
Mermaids are so early 90’s…back in the Little Mermaid days.
“I want to be a sea lion woman,” I think.
“I know! I’ll draw one!”

………and suddenly my dreams of being a sea lion woman-creature
with long flowing hair and girlish fins
turned into a hairy chested, crooked smiling nightmare.

This, my friends, is why I was never a drawer and never, ever will be.

Maybe being Ariel wouldn’t be so bad.
