Odysseus
Johnclarestokes
It was in the fall of fifty one
When first in the semi- circle she heard his Greek
Innocent one from the hills she had come
A preacher man to find
He from the Navy
a bride to seek.
Had she but known the
Language sailors speak
Laced with tales not often found in testaments
She thought of the tears she would never weep.
Beware the sailors who sit and speak in Greek.
