From the great city with its hardened heart of pavement
The worker left his corporate job to go a-sailing
“Oh-ho! To sail! A merry trip! A jaunt upon the sea!
The ocean’s hypnotic and pregnant with love!
What a joyous young sailor is me!”
The worker faced many storms and hardships
But although his hands were scarred and his overalls torn,
his spirit remained buoyant and unburdened.
“Oh-ho! To sail! A merry trip! A jaunt upon the sea!
The ocean’s hypnotic and pregnant with love!
What a joyous young sailor is me!”
One day, at port in Aruba, a mermaid called out to the
sailor from just offshore
She had full, naked breasts and eyes that shone like oyster
pearls
“Oh-ho! To sail! A merry trip! A jaunt upon the sea!
The ocean’s hypnotic and pregnant with love!
What a joyous young sailor is me!”
The mermaid swam alongside the worker’s ship from then on
The two were enamored and had frequent oceanic trysts
Soon, they gave birth to a half-boy, half-fish
“Oh-ho! To sail! A merry trip! A jaunt upon the sea!
The ocean’s hypnotic and pregnant with love!
What a joyous young sailor is me!”
This half-boy, half-fish grew up seasick, hated his father,
forever unsatisfied
Why couldn’t he just have a normal job, an office job on
land?
And so, the next time they were in Boston, they dropped off
fish-boy, so he could pursue his dream of corporate servitude.
Legend has it he’s still submitting resumes.
