Sweet Nessie! Poem by Ross DixPeek

Sweet Nessie!

By
Ross Dix-Peek


Oh sweet Nessie, are you there?
‘Neath the cold clear waters of your lair,
Or are you but legendary,
To remain mere cryptozoology

Oh, great aquatic megapod,
Do come out to upon the waters plod,
So we can at last put paid
To all the fuss, man-made

Was that grainy picture you?
That did great speculation brew,
Ah, that “pic” caused quite a stir!
But gone again you were

And o’er the years do people still say,
That they have in truth seen you cavort and play,
So then I must ask, my dear denizen,
When will we see you again?

Or does your great bold chest
Often the still waters of Loch Ness crest,
Possibly, at that time of day
When all the folk have gone away

Whatever may be the mystery
The world sure needs you Nessie,
For no story looms larger
Than the Tale of the “Loch Ness Monster! ”
