Hello, I'M Nessie From Loch Ness

Well this is my story from way back
you'll probably have heard about me
there's been quite a few sightings
over the years people wonder what they see

Many books have been written
so many opinions if I'm real or not
for I'm what I am no matter what
despite everything I've never been caught

I've watched it all from down under
in the waters of Loch Ness, I've seen
filmmakers have come here
hoping to catch me, they're so keen

So down in the depths of the Loch
there I've been for so very long
no living body has lived long as me
outlived you all so very strong

Now that I've written this piece
sent up from the dark and deep
I bet you are starting to wonder
when does Nessie ever go to sleep?

So have I convinced you?
that I'm really one to fear
lurking in your mind's eye
or like mud not at all clear!

Well, Gordon, Nessie may, or may not, exist, but I like to think that he/she is a benevolent creature and that poets and other writers will continue to find him/her inspirational for years to come.

Thanks Jim, Indeed I endorse all you say that Nessie has left much inspiration and ammunition to pen much about this creature whether was real or someone's fantasy. Regards, Gordon
