A horrible monster, with blazing eyes,
In shape like a lion and tremendous in size,
Awaiting the boat they saw...
With big bony jaws
And murderous claws,
That filled them with terror and awe...

How gleeful he dances,
And bellows and prances,
As near to the island they draw...
Expecting a feast
The bloodthirsty beast
With teeth like the edge of a saw.
