John Lawless Poet Limerick

Le Mer Maids

Alone with fifty men six months at sea
torture, this womanless monotony
after lusty dreams
follow lurid schemes
curvaceous manatees look good to me

Lindsay Laurie August 13, 2018 at 7:38 PM Hello John … they'd want to get there first so they don't get an ugly manatee, don't you think John - being at sea for such a long time would play tricks with the mind - thanks John - Lindsay
