Notes About The Poem

Limerick with emphasis on ick!

Sirens

Several sirens singing on the shore
Called Calypso’s crew for them to adore.
Willing witless wanderers;
Oblivious obeyers, 
Which waves washed through a rocky tidal bore.

Svelte sisters sieved the sailor’s gore
That the salty surging sea cast ashore.
Boiling briny blunderers
With olive oil and oysters
And feasting until they could eat no more.

A good job, the alliteration was fun as well - I even read it out loud for the joy of it. I hope you put this in the contest. All the best .... CayCay
