G And T Blues
She sits there in seclusion
Recalling her glory days
Before internet and SATNAV
So changed the Mariners ways.
Sat on her eponymous rock
All the year long
She’d lure poor sailors with
A tempting siren song.
In the colder weather she wore
A diaphanous thermal vest
To avoid catching a cold whilst
Flashing her curvy chest.
Her only one motivation
A deeply fervent wish
To take revenge on mankind
For teaming chips with fish.
The Rhine’s a safer place now
Radar saving them from shock
Of seeing a sultry mermaid
Perched half naked on her rock.
To be honest these days
She seldom combs her hair
And grabs any possible excuse
To spend less time sitting there.
Yes the Rhine’s a safer place now
Since navigation went electronic
And the siren named the Lorelei
Has taken to gin and tonic.
