The Mediterranean Sea

The Sirens are bird-like women first sighted in Greece thousands of years ago. It is said that their song was so beautiful that it caused sailors to jump to their deaths on the rocks surrounding their island. Supposedly their song doesn’t affect females, so I’m not too worried.

SKYE: Good morning ladies, would you mind if I ask you a few questions?

SIREN 1: Would we mind? Of course not dear, we would love to talk to you! We haven’t had a visitor in over 500 years, you know.

SKYE: Very interesting. May I ask my first question now?

SIREN 2: Certainly! Fire away.

SKYE: Why do you live on a rock in the middle of the ocean?

SIREN 3: Well we like the ocean, silly! It’s a bit like being on vacation in Florida all year round, but without the creepy giant mice. You know what I’m talking about, right? 

SIREN 2: Yeah. Besides, it’s a good place to sing. The ocean is very acoustic.

SKYE: Which brings us to our next question: why do you lure men to their deaths with your singing?

SIREN 2: Wait— they die? Then what do they jump in for? That seems pretty stupid if you ask me.

SIREN 1: You’ve got it all wrong. We don’t sing in order to kill people, that would be bad. We just sing. You have people who sing as their job, right? It’s sort of like that, except we don’t get paid, and we sing whenever we want, and we don’t have an album…

SIREN 3: Oh my gosh, We should make an album! I wonder if Neptune has a recording studio in his palace.

SKYE: Um, okay. I’m gonna go know.

SIREN 3: What shall we call ourselves? The Sirens? No, that will never do. Kiss? Nope, already taken…
