Nessie, Wattie and Kin

Nessie, Wattie and Kin A full ten years before Nessie was first sighted Colonel Arthur Trimble visited Loch Watten A dark, looming shape Trimble’s interest ignited It’s now speculated Nessie has some twins Oceanographers say that before the Ice Age Loch Ness was connected to the Atlantic sea So let us turn the history book back a page A similar creature’s been seen in Lake Erie American cousins for Nessie and Wattie Giant sea serpent’s been spotted in Lake Champlain He is known as Champ and Lake Erie’s is Bessie Four ocean cast outs roam an inland sea domain Could it be that the plesiosaurus lives on In Scotland as well as in North America Trapped in these lakes when the Ice Age seas had withdrawn At same latitudes, but not killers like Orka So if I make my way to see bonnie Scotland I’ll be chartering a boat, bringing diving gear In hopes of catching a glimpse of Nessie firsthand As I explore Loch Ness’s undersea frontier *Entry for Thvia's contest
