Portrait of Hannah and Otto On a Lake

Written on April 14, 2012 Hannah and Otto lived by a lake In a house with an address of 8008. Some nights they would kayak around and around So quietly; there was nary a sound. One night they heard an erie toot and some beeps And rowed towards the sounds without making a peep. They each gasped twice when they saw what was there. It was Ogopogo coming up for air! Ogopogo turned and smiled at them They were both wowed; he seemed like a friend. It turned out that he was quite civil and charming His conversation was respectful and, therefore, disarming. And at the end of the exchange, he asked, “Do you happen to know Where my girlfriend, Loch Nessie, would possibly go? I’ve been looking around this lake for centuries, it seems And if I don’t find her soon, I will simply scream!” Gail DeBole Palindromes Ogopogo (There have been claimed sightings of Ogopogo, a Canadian Lake monster that is commonly described as a 40 to 50 ft. sea monster.)
