It was the third of February, for us a fateful day, we were crossing the Malucca straits bound for Mandalay, a cry came from the lookout, Land ho, we saw him wave and to the larboard side appeared a long dark shape, the captain took his telescope and we heard him say, I know that island and the chart says take note and keep away for there be monsters in that bay.

Whilst out in the forest amongst fallen leaves
you will often look down and see one of these
whether mushroom or toadstool you need to be sure
for if you’re not certain you need to take care
for though they are nice to take home for a meal
eating the wrong one could make you unwell

Now when you open wide these doors
and gaze upon the view before
to left and right are twists and turns
but at the end there’s no return
so think wisely with each step you take
each pillar marks a choice to take

As they started poking around
they found a bone covered in slime
that had been there for a long time
so decided they should dig down
and see what else was in the ground
the story goes or so I’m told
it seems it started to grow cold
this they found to be quite eerie
by now they were getting weary
and all were lost as was the gold

Here’s the story of Nathaniel Quinn
he never did learn how to swim
one day at the lakeside he fell in
and though everyone was looking for him
they never did find poor Nathaniel Quinn

A story I just need to tell
may be of interest to you
or not, no matter, just we two
will know the tale of how I fell
into the realm of personal hell.
It started on that fateful night
when I received my first invite
to make a large amount of cash
so I thought I’d have a bash
I only had to win the fight.
