Description:  
When at age 11, I saw the movie 'Ulysses' with Kirk Douglas, something about it stayed with me and prompted me to learn more about Homer's Odyssey, the chronicle of the Greek hero's meandering, adventure-filled journey home after the Trojan War. One of obstacles to his homecoming was an encounter with the Sirens, creatures who allegedly perched on the rocks in the stormy seas singing to sailors to cause their ships to be wrecked and to lure them as prey. I've put a slightly different spin on the story as our hero, wearing his fashionable fish tie, covering his ear against the Siren's hypnotic song in his attempt to resist the ice cream sundae offered by his potential captors.
