by Douglas Florian

I searched for BIGFOOT for seventeen years.
I searched for BIGFOOT despite all my fears.
I searched for BIGFOOT through mountains and valleys.
I searched for BIGFOOT
Down back roads and alleys.
I searched for BIGFOOT
In rain, snow, and sleet.
But when I found BIGFOOT
He had stinking feet!
