/// In the dim lighting, passions might stir.
Sarah hoped Jimmy might fancy her.
But it’s clear that he’d sooner
be caressing that schooner.
The cute model he likes isn’t her.
/// Other Ship Builders work in this cellar.
Sarah’d have better luck with a feller
who views her as a dish.
All these dead hanging fish
mask her perfume, so Jimmy can’t smell ‘er.
/// Unrequited love makes Sarah burn.
Why won’t Jimmy love her in return?
Her advances he’ll spurn.
Sarah can’t seem to learn
that for handsome young men they BOTH yearn.
