Someone left this on a table at the restaurant I work at. It is entirely possible that this is just some made up alphabet and no one will recognize it but just in case someone can I'm posting it here.

"Once" is what I'm interpreting, not "only"...
It looks like either whoever wrote it has a different opinion of phonetics than I do, or the table on that wiki page is inaccurate (probably the former)... but there's one character in the last word on the first line I can't find a translation for.
Anyone still got the manual for Ultima 9? I think it had a runic alphabet explanation or something. Not the real alphabet, mind you, but maybe it'll fit?

I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

In a dream I was once yours
In reality I was once me
Edit : Third letter in "yours" is a bit jagged, assuming it is Elder Futhark.
This is correct. Technically it's "In a reality". This sort of use of the runic alphabet is really popular among high school students just getting into something like Wicca, who like writing things they think only they know how to read. I speak from authority on this because I was once one of them.

And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
You guys fuckin' rule. I posted this on the off chance someone might be able to recognize it or something - I didn't even expect to get a single reply.
And yeah the people who left it were young looking, though probably not in highschool, and dressed in pretty stereotypical "goth" fashion.

No idea what it says though.

Edit: Hah... didn't notice the H-rape... that's how the two lines start, though... according to the chart on that linked wiki page
"In a dream I was only (something)
In reality I was only me"
Maybe?

Britannian Runes which Ultima used are very similar -

My personal reference was Elder Futhark -
