Nessie Lifted Her Head Today

Nessie lifted her head today for just a second. I saw it, and thought ‘there she is!’ black skinny neck. Black face, looked dinosaur-like. I ran flat out toward her. Was it the “real” Nessie? She dove down hard, did a disappearing act. I lifted my green wading pool, looking underneath. Thinking there was going to be a deep cavern, But there was nothing but wet leaves and brown earth. “Looking for a drain were you?” A snotty voice said to me. I looked up into the eyes of a smug, irritating arch-enemy. Dhramned Abominable Snowman! Out of all the stalkers in The world, why did he have to be mine?
