Limerick with emphasis on ick!

Several sirens singing on the shore Called Calypso’s crew for them to adore. Willing witless wanderers; Oblivious obeyers, Which waves washed through a rocky tidal bore. Svelte sisters sieved the sailor’s gore That the salty surging sea cast ashore. Boiling briny blunderers With olive oil and oysters And feasting until they could eat no more.

A good job, the alliteration was fun as well - I even read it out loud for the joy of it. I hope you put this in the contest. All the best .... CayCay
