Zoo - the Sheeber

SHEEBER

I’ve never seen its like before
Says it’s very rare
Only a half-dozen left
In the high regions of Tibet    somewhere
Covered with coarse    thick gray hair
Half sheep    half bear
The Sheeber
Is this a joke?
A Disney craft-shop reject?
I simply stand and stare
And
Back at me it stares
As though I’m the joke
I’m the Disney craft-shop reject
We stand like this
Stand and stare
For an hour it seems
At last it cannot bare the stare
This Sheeber
And lets me know it
Emits this crazy howl
Half bleat    half growl
I get the hell out of there!

This is a really fun poem and shows great imagination. I never heard of the sheeber. Is it a made up beast or legendary one like Big Foot? Luv, Andrea
