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
