An Origami Tale
By day, he was your average teenager in geeky glasses and by night, he was SooperDee - fighter of crime and upholder of justice. Like all superheroes, SooperDee had his own set of super powers. He could lift small objects, swim real fast and flick his tail in an enticing manner - which always caused the merchicks to get weak in their knees.
This story begins one fine day when SooperDee was out with the other merboys sitting atop the rock to watch the merchicks go by. He would wait on this rock every day after school until Muriel arrived. Muriel, daughter to King Neptune, was not the fairest of the merchicks, which explains why SooperDee had fallen deeply in love with her younger sister, Ariel.
Now, SooperDee had worked up a deal with Muriel. In exchange for a pebble, she'd tell him something new about Ariel every day. "She likes listening to the Beatles," Muriel had remarked the day before. And SooperDee had spent the whole day humming, Yellow submarine. After it became annoyingly repetitive he had switched to Lovely Rita.
Today, SooperDee again found himself trading a shiny pebble for another tidbit about Ariel. "She loves coconuts," said Muriel. "What in the world is a coconut?" wondered SooperDee, but he was out of pebbles and Muriel would tell no more. "Oh well," thought SooperDee, "Perhaps Kitty Kaht the fortune un-teller would know about such things."
"Peanuts," said Kitty while staring into the crystal ball and simultaneously gyrating to Stereophonics. "Er no, Coco-nuts," corrected SooperDee. "I meant," Kitty replied, "Pass me the peanuts." "Oh," said SooperDee and handed her a bowl of peanuts.
"I see a little merchild. Boy, you sure were cute as a kid!" said Kitty. "Well," blushed SooperDee, "I still am." "Of course Dahling," said Kitty and rolled her eyes, "Okay, about the coconut - It's big, it's green and it's found on trees."
"Wew, those trees sure are tall. And the coconut is waaay up there," thought SooperDee from the shallow waters, "I wonder how I'll get to it". And SooperDee swam towards the tree. Just as he reached the tree, a coconut fell on his head and knocked him out.
Meanwhile, the author of this little tale got distracted and lost his train of thought. He decided to skip directly to the part where SooperDee and Ariel get married and live happily ever after.
Moral - If you get too close to a tree, the coconut is bound to fall on your head.

what are the odds of that happening? Well, in reality very strond. however in fairytale land with merchicks, very slim. thanks for giving these fables a reality check. ;p very funny indeed.

Ashish: My kids are growing up. Look at you - you’ll be married soon. And 7 years ago, you were a kid fresh out of school. It’s only us old who look into the past.
(Whoa, that was dramatic :P)
Kits: I know! It adds to the mysticism.
Sophie: A coconut leaf almost fell on my head once
Kalyan: *wink*
Arti: Pick one
Prixie: Ariel was my fav princess too. Until I came across Fiona. I mean, my that woman *can* kick!
Burf: *grin*

Well, yes I have read+given a ruddy exam on Kubla Khan. The specimen of doggerel you were kind enough to comment on did get inspired by the ’sunless sea’ bit.
The first lines were also a part of one of Macbeth’s last lines. Now shouldn’t you have pointed that out?
Copycat? You wish: inspiring lines deserve a tribute, however small.
And yeah, I wish I could skip timelines like in this story - skip over the Joints and get a B.Tech directly…

I prefer to see Ariel unmarried and unfettered

AruniRC: Let me see if I’ve got this right - You’ve taken stanzas from different poems and then strung them together and called it your own. Whatever makes you happy …
Deepa: But if Ariel were to marry, don’t you think she ought to pick me
Niyara:
Garfield: Not really. But he did suffer from an annoying little brother.
