When I was young, we had to read a book in school called "The Water-babies", by Charles Kingsley. It was such a wonderful little book full of images of little waterbabies flitting around under the sea, that years later for some reason, at 1:00 in the morning, I was inspired to write a poem about it. Well, with the poem had to come a painting, and here it is...my wee little waterbaby playing his harp for the fishes of the sea!

Okay, by popular demand I'm going to add the words to the Waterbaby poem here, but remember folks you asked for it! I make no promises for what I write late at night when I'm on caffeine...;-)
I Wish I Was a Waterbaby...
by Cari Buziak
I wish I was a waterbaby -
I'd swim all through the sea,
With fishes yellow, blue and green
Such a merry sight to see!
And if perhaps I caught a glimpse
Of a mermaid slim and fair,
I'd find her pearls and jewels bright
And seashells for her hair.
I wish I was a waterbaby -
On the seahorses would I ride,
Over the sand and coral beds
With the comings of the tide.
And if perhaps I found a friend,
What mischief we could play,
Tease the clams and race the fish
And chase our cares away.
