Adventurer Beware!

Adventurer beware!
I have a tale that I could tell.
Of giant ants and fearsome beasts,
And monsters black and fell.

Adventurer beware!
When once you mount that trusty steed.
Home you’ll leave behind you,
Down dangerous roads your search will lead.

The Forest Gloom awaits you,
On your most magic quest.
Haunted by enormous spiders,
And a dragon with a glowing breast.

Mighty villains you must face,
And raging beasts galore.
To conquer all your many fears,
And reach that shining shore.

Adventurer beware!
The prize is close to hand.
A precious, glimmered jewel,
Awaits you in that distant land.

Adventurer beware!
Many tales will speak of you,
Songs sung of courage,
Written for the mighty few.

An adventure of adventures,
A mighty hero’s quest.
You’ll never be forgotten,
Even when you’ve gone to rest.

So close your eyes and off to bed,
My brave, resourceful knight.
Your mighty deeds protect you,
And I’ve left on your bedtime light.
