The Scarlet Sea
A sanguine sea yet underneath
The sharks there all have rubber teeth
And only eat the jellyfish
Visible in a Petri dish
Scarlet waves in throbbing motion
Moon holds no sway in this ocean
The salty sea inside of me
Pumping for my eternity
My scarlet sea has sprung a leak!
I feel it flowing as I grow weak
I think that I’m about to hurl
Don’t you want to be a girl?
The sharks there all have rubber teeth
And only eat the jellyfish
Visible in a Petri dish
Scarlet waves in throbbing motion
Moon holds no sway in this ocean
The salty sea inside of me
Pumping for my eternity
My scarlet sea has sprung a leak!
I feel it flowing as I grow weak
I think that I’m about to hurl
Don’t you want to be a girl?

This was something light-hearted that only 1/2 the population can relate to perhaps, cheers and thanks Scrib!

I enjoy being a man and only have kudos (whatever they are) for the fairer sex that keeps us from extinction, thanks!
