Before the Ape Canyon Siege of ’24,
The Bluff Creek footage, or that mess near Reelfoot,
The Huppa knew aalll about him, knew the lore,
pediculum vasticus, the Common Bigfoot,

And you, the sleuth, the bloodhound, with your slung pack
Of Sterno, film, and doggedness, have combed
The Web page, tracked down tips from cul-de-sac
To the Okefenokee, where the Skunk Ape roam,

Until (all’s being revealed that hath been yadda
Yadda hid) you get an aperçu
Of vindication, the countryside’s replete
With Bigfoots, silly withum—Alma, Yeti,
Sasquatches, Metohs, Seahticks—and you
Got close as, what would you say it was,
                                                            six feet?
