Don't linger in the waters
Where the merfolk are at play
The ocean's sons and daughters
Will lead our kind astray.
Though many is the sailor
Who has found themselves on land
After meeting with a strange mer
That they could not understand,
It seems they care for no reward
For tender ministration
When we have toppled overboard
In our inebriation.
But if it's you they've chosen
They'll surround you with their kin
Your legs are bound and frozen
In a wrap of silver skin,
Soon you'll be understanding
All that passes from their tongues
No food you'll be demanding
Nor fresh air to fill your lungs,
And they'll take you as their brother
Or their sister as they please
And you'll be just another
Of the merfolk in the seas.
This is a poem you can find, about merfolk, in the Tales From the Sea of Thieves book. You can find it when Diving Bel starts writing in it.
