Sailor Meets the Siren
He fell off topside and floated in the ocean for a while.
He traveled downstream hanging onto a whale with a smile.
Ending up in a river with some beautiful inlets and a song.
The lure of a melodic siren showed him nature was not wrong.
She had a lilt that lifted him out of his doldrums that day.
Her music caused him to think of gorgeous beaches far away.
He was intrigued and entranced, and mesmerized by her.
He would have stayed with her forever, and been happy pure.
But alas, she was not real, a kind of mirage, a spirit sprite.
He held on to her with a sweet cuddle that felt incredibly right.
In the morning she was gone, and he was back on deck on his ship.
The only proof he had of his adventure was a mermaid tattoo on his hip.
