Beauty and Bigfoot

BigFoot needed a date
 He needed a damsel  at least six feet tall
 He thought it would be great
 If she accompanied him to the Ball

 So he looked online for a match
 For a gal who  would suit  Sasquatch
 Though he looked all around
 No matches were found
 But he searched through the night
 Until  dawn broke its light

 Then finally he found  a dream girl
 Who  would go with him to the Ball
 She dressed in a gown with necklace of pearls
 And indeed she was quite tall

 BigFoot, dressed in his 3 piece suit
 Danced with the girl of his dreams
 Everyone wondered how such a brute
 Could get a girl so cute

 But as the full moon arose
 She grew fur on her nose
 And fangs from her mouth did protrude
 As she howled at the moon that she viewed
  But BigFoot  didn't mind in the least
 That Beauty had turned to a beast!
                       ----
