Wandering Myth

Beneath the abyss, there lives a myth
of an ancient sea terror
With rows of sharp teeth
And a large body of great weight

His skin like tough leather
And dark, cold frighting eyes
Swimming in the deep beyond
From one place to another

With his large fins like oars
He travels at great speed
And with his fearful bite
He snatches with all his might

Beware to those who cross his path
And do not linger in wonder
For this creature from the deep
May drag you down to forever sleep
