I'm not sure what to make of this one. Surely it has some sort of meaning, right? This was found in a cache of material from one of Viridia's outer colonies, but I just can't make heads or tails of it. I'm certain it's a riddle, but I can't work out the answer!

"I am the shoe monster of the sea.
But there's not a shoe so I eat thee.
There's nothing left to do,
Without a single shoe,
So I'll be the hungry monster of the sea instead."

Please advise, I'm losing my mind.
