Sea Chanty

My mother hates the sea
my sea especially
I warned her not to
it was all I could do
Two years later
the sea ate her
Upon the shore I found a strange
yet beautiful food
I asked the sea if I could eat it
and the sea said that I could
-- Oh, sea, what fish is this
so tender and so sweet?
-- Thy mother’s feet
