The Mergrrrl Pledge of S/he-We-llegiance

 

Once upon a time

In the Deep Blue She

Little mergrrrl sighed

Dreamed a woke dream

M-U-T-I-N-Y

 

Time upon us now

Good tidings we must bring

Ever after our

Happily we swim

U-N-I-T-Y

 

You blue? #MeToo !

Coxswain through crew

We rise, renew

Say ‘I do’ to

 

All mergrrrls we have

Lived since yore

Who nevertheless

& allthemore

 

Persist. Resist.

Raise fin. Wing. Fist.

S/he/They insist:

 

Pursuit of happiness!

 

Life Liberty!

Love! Dignity!

 

Solidarity

For You & Me

 

Turn the tide

From Dream to Be

Unity

 

Deep Blue She to Shining We.
