Lirieke: Flanders & Swann. The Sea Horse.

On the morning after her bridal night

The lady sea horse bolts

Leaving her sea horse groom to hatch

Sea fillies and sea colts.



While her husband tends their sea urchin brood

The Sea Mare spends her days

Opening hospital gala fetes at charity matinees,

At Charity Matinees



The sea horse never leaves his young

He would not if he could

While his mare faced wife is out and about busily doing good.

Busily doing good.
