Sasquatch

He exists...

I thought I saw a Sasquatch

He was strolling down my street

He was very large and hairy,

And he had enormous feet

 

I followed him for fifteen blocks

To get a closer look

With each step of his giant shoes

The concrete pavement shook

 

Finally he turned around;

He knew he had been followed

His dark brown eyes, they pierced my soul;

In fear, I stared and swallowed

 

“Just what is it you want from me,

a lonely, humble yeti?”

I dropped my gaze, I felt such guilt;

I knew my thoughts were petty

 

“I didn’t think that you were real,”

I started to explain

He roared with laughter, “Oh thank God!”

I thought he was insane

 

“I’m used to curiosity,

endured it all my life

I just thought you were spying

for my beast of an ex-wife!”

Ok, well, I thought I saw him... even got a few pictures... but no one believes me.

Did you ask him for a date, lol? I mean he wasn't married.

[Rita L. Sev]

No, but I am! :) Come on, wouldn't you follow a Sasquatch if you saw him on your street? ;)

[Frieda P]

HA! Too funny Rita, how do you come up with these things? Great read, still laughing here....

[Rita L. Sev]

I know - what the heck goes on in my brain sometimes? ;) Glad you got a laugh - thanks, Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Haha I like your brain, you're very welcome Rita!

That was funny my friend. Your going to give that poor guy a complex. he was probably just on his way to the barbershop. I can always count on you Rita to bring a smile to my face.

[Rita L. Sev]

Actually, he was going to a bar... so I bought him a beer. :) Thanks, Jack - it is a goal to spread silly smiles!

[Pryde Foltz]

But I really saw him... ;) Thanks, Noodle!

This is a lot of fun, Rita. How I'd love to see that Sasquatch and his ex-wife together. Why did they split up, and I wonder if they had any kids? Quite a few unanswered questions that you could always explore later. You have a very nice sense of humor.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Joyce! I'll have to think about those yeti kids... :)

[Stella Armour]
