Siren Song

This is the one song everyone

would like to learn: the song

that is irresistible:



the song that forces men

to leap overboard in squadrons

even though they see beached skulls



the song nobody knows

because anyone who had heard it

is dead, and the others can’t remember.

Shall I tell you the secret

and if I do, will you get me

out of this bird suit?

I don’t enjoy it here

squatting on this island

looking picturesque and mythical

with these two feathery maniacs,

I don’t enjoy singing

this trio, fatal and valuable.



I will tell the secret to you,

to you, only to you.

Come closer. This song



is a cry for help: Help me!

Only you, only you can,

you are unique



at last. Alas

it is a boring song

but it works every time.
