| POOR NESSIE |
| Fifteen hundred years ago They wrote about her first They'd seen a floating dinosaur In Loch Ness she was immersed But soon the story ran amok Ignorance and fear took hold They labeled her a monster And a legend began to unfold To this day the story is told And people still flock to see If they can catch a glimpse of her The dinosaur of the sea Now if it's true that Nessie lived So many years ago By now she must be very old And a very lonely soul Some even think she surfaces to seek A dear and long lost friend Diplodocus, an old playmate of hers Who once did roam the land How sad for Nessie to be left With no one like her around Just gawking humans all about No privacy to be found And so, she dives into the deep Where she can mourn alone Until she yearns to come up and see The shores of her only home I have an idea for Nessie, though That just might cheer her up I'd like to fix her up on a date with Jackie Paper's old friend, Puff Surely he could sympathize With Nessie's loneliness She'd follow him to Honah Lee Far from the tourists of Loch Ness There they'd roam together Puff's green scales would reappear And Nessie would have a new playmate To be with year after year ...and they would live happily ever after. |
