Clever Little Book

Prologue

  Why has my love again left my bosom? Captivated by the Siren's Song I suppose. For beautiful are its enchanting chords and intoxicating melodies. Though I would cook, clean and toil all the day for love, again he has evaded me. For who is he that can resist the Song of the Siren? Many men have gone out to sea determined to but hear the Siren's Song, then turn again for home. But all who heard became bewitched; so much so that no matter the effort exhausted to turn their vessels for home, they found themselves lulled closer and deeper entranced. Closer to the Siren and so deeply entranced, until their horrible fate was a crash upon the rocks. And though a man had heard the tale and believed it might bring his utter destruction, still none could resist even the possibility of hearing the Siren's Song; and so launched their vessels out to sea, joining the legions of men who had gone before them, never to return home again.

  “...in loving memory of the very FOOLISH at heart, who allow the Sirens of Life to lure them away from their beloved... R.I.P. (or so they say)”
