    About this ebook

    Stuck in a lamp
    with legs cramp,
    the humidity, horribly damp,
    makes my skin sweat
    with fallen drops of fret.

    Stranded, alone,
    dismal misery shone,
    my lips whisper, Moan.

    My eyes cry rue
    while my heart woo
    as I reflect tonight,
    Rub my lamp right.

    Worried about my lot,
    Am I a slave sought
    with rusted rot
    in this forsaken
    lamp of olden,
    whence days told then?
    Or would a wink steer
    a fisherman near?

    In saltwater I sink,

    A Mermaids Wink.
