Page 18 — Richard Stevenson
Bigfoot boards his craft
no intelligent life
on this planet to report
Bigfoot boards his craft
All the brochures brag
“selfies with serpent here!”
Champ got no memo
The greys hard at work
at crisper cloning cryptids
shoulda stopped at reptiles
sphinx on Mars! You mean
the visitors wanted us
to think one was ours?
Mugwump’s stumped –
Lake Tamiskaming for lunch
or hang up his humps?
