Popeye The Sailorman
First time, when dating with your lady love
before you embark onto a ship of LOVE
make sure, you can swim back alone to the shores,
If abandoned in a wreck, as your dreams are belied en-route
because, your voyage is full of risks
tossed high and low through hidden rocks
off the banks, dark and direction-less
day and night with she-sickness
sharks, whales and poisonous snakes
silently closeting the hull under the waves
you need to keep the lady
in good humour and enchanted
with a fatty purse, on a spending melee
to please her utmost, with all she wanted
in mid sea, she may demand
a bunch of flowers or a pair of new sandals
to test your abilities as a loving aspirant
she always thinks, there is a long queue
behind her, of wait-listed men
to take her hand in marriage
just as you see in a ‘popeye show'
keep your ‘spinach' ready to do
all the jingle-jangle you know.
