High Purr Billy Biography Sketch Front Tuss Piece

A written account (that incorporates some 
self directed hyperbole) of this veritable stranger 
now appears before your screen. Soon 
after reading this message, the neighbors 

might discern a blood curdling series 
of (hyena-like) shrieking screams. 
No worry. That would be the mating call 
of the hairy Harris mama bear.

Ready! Set! Click!

A scary reflection greets me whenever 
I summon up enough steely courage to take 
a sneak peek into the mirror. Before 
spider lines start to appear across the 
shiny surface and subsequent cracks 

and fissures dissolve the glassy surface 
these deux hazel colored, myopic be
spectacled eyes quickly absorb a most 
frightful countenance and visage.

That near legendary and trademark feature 
of longish, wavy and brown straggly hair 
seems to fill the entire view. Hidden among 
avant garde rhapsodic bohemian, Cro-Magnon, 
Neolithic, non-every-man style of un-styled 
non dread full locks (interspersed with silver follicles 

indicative of acquired worry fighting off 
garden variety prehistoric creature) can be discerned 
a brutish, nasty and short proto-human with 
high forehead, which allows, enables and provides 
more skin surface to bang against wall when frustrated.
