Line Gauthier Poet Limerick

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
