He was too big
the real bigfoot is a story not often told
I heard it from my gramps when he was really old
he showed me a picture I thought was photo-shopped
he doesn’t even have a computer said my Uncle Slopped
I studied the photo, staring at the beast’s enormous size
He had a classic stance, there was fire in the bigfoot’s eyes
I cannot imagine seeing this creature and living to tell the tale.
I heard they tried to collect him and put him in the county jail
What did he do? I asked, curious as I stared at Grandpa Lee
He was too big! Said Grandpa, that was enough you see.
Back in the day, being too big was enough to put you in the clink?
Grandma nodded as she washed out her dentures in the sink.
