A siren’s song
Cries at dawn

A ship sailed
The sea
A prince and
His crew

That day they
Threw out the net
For fishing

They caught
Quiet the catch

What they thought
Was a mermaid

A siren’s song
Cries in the morning

The prince
Had it tossed
Overboard

The poor ‘mermaid’
Was scared
It felt water round it

It was thrilled

The shipped
Was wracked
By a storm
The prince
Thrown over
Battered and bruised

His form
Slowly drowning
The mer saved him

A siren’s song
Cries at noon

The prince’s heart
Was captivated
By this mysterious
Savior with
The Siren voice

Out at sea he herd
The song everyday

One day
He stumbled upon
The same creature
Beached upon
Dry rock

Again he
Saved the mer

A siren’s song
Cries in the evening

Then one day
A scruffy ‘girl’
He stumbled upon.
Mute and with sad eyes
The prince brought
‘Her’ home

Those eyes
Were the mer’s
He treated ‘her’ well

A siren’s song
Cries at dusk

Then came
The night he bedded ‘her’

No woman
He found but a man
In a attempt to kill it
He shoved him over the balcony.

He saw the tail
Swim away he took
The ship out on a hunt
And hunted the mer
In his insanity
Upon his capture
A harpoon through
Its once glorious tail

The mer sliced
The prince’s throat
In the betrayal

And found
They taste as good
As there sweet lies
And promises

A Siren’s song
Cries in the twilight

The crew left
The mer on a
High dry rock
Were is tarnished body
Was left to the birds

The Siren’s song
Cried no more

A rotten carcass
Was left
