In this story, in rhyme, I narrate as best as I can
Of a creature and a place unknown to any man.
Motives of people who are dear to your heart,
And of an odd adventure that almost came apart
Tragically; but let me not spoil the little surprise
That awaits your expedition into my enterprise.
When you have read this youll see what I meant
I hope your time with this strange tale is well spent.
