Leave not the Shore

Take care ye who sail the open sea for dark and evil things there be sleeping so soundly ever so quiet lest a ship sail pass by it many a man courageous and tall sought to make the waves his thrall but when the monsters came awake see the mistake the man did make   Some men were pulled down under loosing all their ill gotten plunder others peacefully off went to sleep to disappear before dawn's fog did creep take not these words as light or you too will be filled with fright for off these shores do the monsters roam for we sail upon their home   Tentacles as thick as a great tree enraged the great beasties will be storms the will lift a ship in the air the angry sea gods needn't be fair for man is but a tiny fool when playing in a goddess' pool they send their spawn, half man half fish a quick death your last sad wish   Leave not the shore keep it in sight protection in land's safe harbor might a great many of dark and shadow stalk your path sailing to and fro neither sword nor cunning, divine nor arcane will save you from the profane
