Big Foot

Gigantic footprints there on the beach So big that a dozen men could stand in each Yet what made these footprints did not simply stand But went every which way all over the sand The emperor came and because he was wise He noticed the footprints were not fossilised Nor in a straight line for they’re trod all about He asks for some quiet to figure it out And things become clear when he talks again Is Gulliver practicing waltz again?

Ah, such a good one. I was taken aback by the last line, totally unexpected. I love a poem with a surprise ending, and this is an exceptional one, Terry.

Thanks, Milt. Wasn’t sure if it worked, so posted it anyway, glad you enjoyed. Terry
