A Siren's Warning

If you are wise sailor, cover your ears,
Remembering the insight of the years
For I shall entice you with honeyed voice
Then you must forget you have no choice.
Your proud ship will founder and be no more
Becoming as driftwood on this strange shore.
A sad Nemesis for a man so brave,
The ocean shall claim you as its slave.
Tossed lifeless upon the boiling foam,
To see nevermore the fair shores of home.
