Seals — well, they rhyme with steel — can stand the cold.
And they can even dive and mate at once.
They hold their breath; and one knows how to fold
his vulnerable parts into the other’s.
Even virgin seals don’t need experience
to do this properly so no one smothers.
We need warm waters — and we might be coy,
but sirens can undo our modesty
striding across the liquid corduroy.
