My Version of Full Fathom Five Thy Father Lies

Five fathoms beneath the sea lies your father;
His bones are now coral;
His eyes are now pearls;
Nothing is left of him that would fade,
But has suffered a change from the sea
into something really cool.
Mermaids ring his funeral bell:
Ding-dong.
Listen!  Now I hear them, -ding-dong, bell.
                                            ~from The Tempest
