Mermaids' Omen

There once were mermaids hailing from Crete The Aegean Sea they'd rule so sweet They'd enchant with their chant Dull the rant when heard 'can't' For them not a match was Hercules' fleet The sea'd get wild and tumultuous The men unruly rambunctious With strength superhuman Hercules 'gainst omen Down went the men less than virtuous AP: 2nd place 2022, Honorable Mention 2022, Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on July 27, 2019 for contest TWO SEA THEMED LIMERICKS sponsored by TANIA KITCHIN
