Six Seamen

Sad Sally simmers sumptuously
Slow, still steamy
Sets sights seripticiously
Singly shy, so sly
Staring straight, sipping.

Several slightly stiff sailors
Sallied stumbling six-sensedly sensing
Sexual semi-tones swirling.
Six sat salubriously sipping
“Salute”ing, “skol”ing, skyward.

Soon, stiff Sam stood, strode, staggered
Stumbled, skidded scraping Sally’s shoe.
Shucks, sorry said Sam.
Scram shouted Sally,
Suddenly sanctimonious.

Six sailors staggered shipward
Sam-scoffing, stumble-spoofing.

Seems sertainly settling seeing such spectacular  story-telling!
I've experimented with this concept before.. having every word start with the same letter, at times a different letter in each stanza, ultimately forming one word that sums it all up, but how ever you do it, hey man whatever floats your boat. This was a nice read

Interesting!  And thus the letter "S" is done!  You might get a kick out of seeing what I did with "L" in a posting a week or so ago called "On Loving Luv Ann to the Lonely End of Loving."

Best wishes,
