“Crypto Zoologists” Don’t Exist
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 10th, 2007
Theeggfarm has many poems on their site, here and there and all around.
Allow me to share, if I might, which I much appreciate, one just found:
Untitled #8 (For Crypto Zoologists)
by hybrid
If every creature
Rumored but Unproven
By Crypto Zoologists
Were given a stewin’
I’d hazard a guess
that my favorite meat
Would be tender morsels
Of mermaid feet
In reply and in the same tone, let me pen my very own:
Mermaids Have No Feet (Untitled #1)
by Loren Coleman
Eggfarm
No harm
You made us two
Words as the who
But we are together
Which is much better
As cryptozoologists
Not “Crypto Zoologists”
So I must, of course, insist
“Crypto Zoologists” don’t exist
And mermaids don’t have feet
To eat and eat and eat.
hey loren, interesting new article indeed. very understandable. thanks bill
On the other hand there are Krypto zoologists who study Superman’s pet dog.
Standing by the road
It’s at least ten feet
Seen by many
Some with infrared heat
Could it be a bear
The foot prints a fake
If only I had a camera
A blurry picture I would take
Wow. Add lighter fluid and a match, and we can have a bonfire of the inanities!
(Forgive me; I had to.)
Matches? Ain’t no flaming here.
But folks, have yee no fear.
Cause poetry can be a spellchecker,
Unless you read like a woodpecker.
But I don’t like green eggs and ham, said Sam I am.
