The Key To the Lochness

They tried for her pictures
They tried to tape her
But she is mysterious
And to never be seen
Giant, green monster 
Or maybe she's not
Only rumours have spread
How dare they assume
Like a humble, sunken ship
Afraid of the daylight
She stays in her shelter
Never breaching the top
So ancient and peaceful
So lonely and angry
Always watching for cameras
Or divers or boats
They tried draining her lake
But they don't understand
She's not one for the spotlight
And will not be seen
Nessie swim freely
At the bottom of Lochness
I won't let them hurt you
I won't let them see you
