river road sightings


sirens

Beautiful women these send their sound
For men over the waves that pound.
Ask Ulysses who's tied to the mast
So he cannot succumb as they go past.
Ask Samson with his long hair
As Delilah draws him to her lair.
See the Queen, Helen of Troy.
She is whisked away with great joy.
There are others that we all know
Who make men's hearts start to glow.
Throughout history they gained their fame.
Sirens they are called if you need a name.
