Nessie's Thoughts

INTRODUCTION: Scribbled poem on the back of the same sheet of paper that "The Poem Of Horus" came from. I can't be sure if I wrote it, but I will include it in case I did. The bad meter and subject matter make it look much like something I would have written. Likely also from 1990.




Nessie's Thoughts


Look at those people waiting with their cameras
Just so they can get a glimpse of me!
Maybe I'll just stick out my tail or flipper,
Or maybe my neck so they can see

That I'm as real as anything in this world!
And though I don't mean to brag,
I think all of these Scots are thinking
Of putting me on their flag!

Some people think I'm an otter or
A seal or a huge clump of seaweed.
If only they'd take a closer look
To see I'm very prehistoric, indeed!

There are pictures and lots of stories
To prove that I exist.
I could splash the person who
Thinks my picture is a human's fist!

But instead of showing myself to all,
I'll leave them with all their strife.
And even though I hate to admit it,
I live a very hectic life!
