Twitter plays, part CLXXI

It’s Twitter Plays CLXXI! This week’s assignment was: write a 1-tweet play that features MERMAIDS.

Here are your plays starting with @PrimroseMK who’s tackling the primary issue of mermaid/human romance.

@PrimroseMK:
Man and mermaid kiss. Mermaid: Take me! Take me now! (man looks down) Man: Uh, how? (ex-girlfriend enters, laughs her ass off)

@BoomboxMolly:
A mermaid sings a siren song. Sailors fling themselves on the rocks. She makes a call: “When do my health insurance benefits kick in?”

@katemickere:
A depressed mermaid sits on a dock in NYC. Mermaid: Shit, that was nothing like “Splash!” She dives into a dirty Hudson River.

@lex6m:
Jessica: I asked the Mermaid. She said that Chicken of the Sea is a mammal that looks like a dolphin w/wings and can sometimes fly.

@DrSomething:
Manatee: Wow, is that a mermaid? [distant figure swims closer] Oh no, it’s just a human.

@ZHines2:
MAN: ive finally gotten you alone (MAN undresses) MERMAID: lets - the pile of eggs are in the corner. do you need encouragment?

@coyapaz:
A: Something smells fishy. B: Jesus Christ! I’ve had it with you! Love me, love my tail! A: But… B: Go to hell.

@treebyleaf:
9 MERMAIDS (gravely): the savagery of your gawking outshines even our beauty. pray we leave your ship intact. SAILOR: ha! (dies/fire)

@BeccaPiano:
Man: SO glad I picked “give me a fish” option. Neptunia: Glub! *affectionate kiss* Man: Who likes fishing,anyway! *Benny Hill music*

@mightytoycannon:
A: Hey Sailor! Want some fish tail? B: Tempting, but you have a branding problem. Can I call you something other than “Sea Cow”?

@thislindsay:
SHE:No! HE:But they’re so beautiful, the singing, the boobies. SHE:I’m warning you! MERMAIDS:CHOMP schlurp burp. SHE: You’re welcome.

@Casarino:

@HeatherMeyer2:

@Aroblyer:
NOAA Rep: No evidence of aquatic humanoids has been found. Noah: I could’ve told you that. Radio listener: You just did… 

@BananaHamBone:
Mermaids? more like dime store fellatio vending machines. “She’s a mermaid” “Bollocks -she’s a prostitute” “yes but with a fin”

@jadeshade:
Free diver(M), 100m deep, drowning. Mermaid appears & they make out, she breathing air into him. “what do I tell my bf?”, he worries.
