Hm. Nes - Monsters Everywhere

Alternating legends
Twixt the forest and the sea-
'The monster, ' some say, 'keeps to the water! '
While others claim, 'The trees! '
But I have seen him quit the seashore, and
I have watched his forest leave.
No doubt he haunts whichever suits him-
One day woodlands, the next mid-sea.
So you who fear sea-monsters most
Beware his path along the coast.
And ne'er forget his forest lair,
You who fear him mostly there.

Hm. Nes
