Zany

People think they see Bigfoot roaming
around in the vast wilderness of the forest,
when it's really my 66 year old left over
from Woodstock very hairy hippie cousin,

Who decided 20 years ago to live off of the land,
having had hitchhiked out west with little or no definite plan,
he just hiked out to the forest impulsively one day a free man,
where he lives in a tree house sort of like Tarzan,

He's always been like a Viking very big and burly,
but very seldom does his mood turn mean or surly,
and since he hasn't seen a barber in more than 20 years,
the sight and smell of him can cause an awful lot of fear,

And although he's very hirsute with hair everywhere,
he doesn't cover up with not even a stitch of underwear,
and being labeled Bigfoot he doesn't want to disappoint,
that's why to this day hikers still run, scream and point,

Some brave one's even stick around and take his picture,
with my cousin mimicking an ape running round with a little snicker,
so if you see a picture of Bigfoot on the cover of some rag paper,
more than likely it's just my hippie cousin out naked enjoying nature.

This one really made me giggle Cheryl. I've heard of black sheep of the family but no one ever had a Big Foot. Realy cute. Love it. God Bless and thanks for the kind words on my "Say Whut?" Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Been off line awhile trying to recoup my energy. JB
