Waiting For the Right Sailor

wearing a gorgeous blue topaz necklace
confiscated from the spoils of the Titanic
a sultry siren blows watery smoke rings in the Atlantic
waiting for a handsome naive sailor
willing to follow her down the depths of despair
where extra loot lies in wait

Come into my parlour! I loved it all. I wonder how many sailors had followed her down the depths of despair before.
