Fuck, Eliot's good. Leaving aside the meaning, he's just the best poet of the 20th century in terms of sensous sound.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can we not leave aside the meaning? Because I still don't get it. I think I basically get the other two poems, though.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I've always found these lines almost unbearably sad.

I once tried to force my friend to dress up for halloween by rolling up his pant legs and shoving a can of peaches in his hand and instructing him to say "Do I dare? Do I dare?" It was his own frinkin' party and he was the only one not dressed up.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
My mother used to have a cartoon from the New Yorker on her door. It was a pair of mermaids sitting on a rock by the shore, looking at a lump of a man who was walking on the beach. Caption: "I'm not singing to THAT guy."
I think I liked T. S. Eliot a lot better when I didn't know he was a weirdo in real life.

I thought it was pretty inspired, but he was a big party pooper.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No fucking way! Yeats kicks Eliot's scrawny ass around the block with euphony.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Also, WROD.
