The Little Mermaid may not come back to him, but I think he may soon be joining her ....
ReplyDeleteThis is great fun. I like it and I love the 140 character idea that goes with a picture.
ReplyDeleteI think he's going to get the deep six LOL. Very well done. :) Have a great Labor Day :)
ReplyDeleteLove your wonderful imagination! Mine is so much more boring and would have told me; "Yay, I am about to be hit by a giant wave!" Much more pragmatic, less romantic.;))
ReplyDeleteHave a splendid Monday,
xoxo
i would say it is a mistake indeed...and once kind neptune hears about it the waves will only get bigger...
ReplyDeleteHehehe! Poor prince has a very common problem, eh?
ReplyDeleteoOooOO I love this! Awesome job and great thinking!
ReplyDeleteJM
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned - mermaids, too, but they can do more damage! Great take :-)
ReplyDeleteVery good ... I like! :o)
ReplyDeletePoor Chap, he must really be desperate for his Mermaid to go out in a storm like that. I can only imagine what The Princess was really like.
ReplyDeleteA new twist on the fairy tale! I loved it.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week x
That's a dangerous misunderstanding :-)
ReplyDeleteI like it.
Nessa;
ReplyDeleteThose mermaids can sure carry a grudge when they want to. If I were the prince, I would paddle quickly back to the princess.
Loved your take my friend. So nice for me to be back and reading all these lovely stories.
So the Sea becomes judge and jury. :)
ReplyDeleteA familiar story, except this time with a mermaid. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ahead. Cheers!
Too late now. That poor mermaid is bubbles.
ReplyDeleteYep, those wives never seem to understand. So glad this one's going to get what's coming to him!
ReplyDeletemisunderstanding is the source of much evil. this could be what andersen wanted to write but didn't dare...
ReplyDeleteOh, those fickle princess mermaids...you just can't get through to them. Maybe now he will meet a real woman.
ReplyDeletehow funny u r,
ReplyDeletebeautiful humor,
romantic micro-fiction.
This is good.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job
What happened to the mermaid the Prince fell in love with? Nothing, just time.
ReplyDeleteOooooo... me thinks "too little, too late"...
ReplyDeleteGood one, Nessa. Where have I heard that line before? :)
ReplyDelete..
Ha! They always try to pin it on the non-understanding wife.
ReplyDeleteThat picture looks like a wood carving.
ReplyDeleteSilly Prince!
ReplyDeleteNice one, Nessa! You are so good at this. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHe looks rather Little Prince-ish, but I didn't know he had married...and didn't he learn from the pilot about being faithful? Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteIn over his head I'd say!
