Old Hulks

 + old hulks +
Which sirens these
By which an old hulk is serenaded
What do they find
To praise rather than ridicule
No young fools for expected to be fooled
Old fools deceive themselves
Believe the lies of sweeter voices
See only world as was
Believe they are as were once
Do not mark rust of time
Damage of sea and sun
Still live in dry dock of hope
Irreconcilable with reality
Bewitched whenever sirens sing.
