The Fat Manatee, the Little Mermaid, and the Shrimp

​A poem about forever, not just today: Once upon a time, there was a Fat Manatee, a Little Mermaid, and a Shrimp. They were simple and plain.

They had grateful hearts and looked forward with faith. They lacked the affluence others would chase and covet. They had learned from their trials, never need they fret. The riches of eternity were theirs. Accruing savings in Heaven yielding perpetual dividends, of kingdoms and thrones they were heirs. And that is just the beginning.
