Beast of Temekus, Untitled Poem

Historical Details
History
The majority of its lines are commonly believed to have originated from an unnammed poem discovered on a dead's man's body, tucked away in a shallow cavern along the Lendover Mountains. It gained popularity when parents began to recite it as a cautinary tale to encourage children to behave, at which point a new stanza was eventually added.
The additional stanza reads as follows:
In order to keep the monster at bay,
We must do our chores, sleep early, and pray.
Obeying our elders will set us apart
For the beast has no taste for those pure of heart.
