The Yeti (unpublished children's poem)

Eddie the yeti
was quite a hairy sir,
with an abundance of leaves and twigs and berries
all stuck in his fur. 

He did a dance
and tossed flowers to the sky,
for he was in love with a girl—
one quite pretty to his eye. 

But ever so sad did Eddie become,
for his love was all in vain.
He was thought a monster, a pitiful monster,
and for this he thought the gods insane. 

Till one night, one wonderful night,
as he watched her with a curious stare—
dancing and howling beneath the moon,
covered in a thick coat of hair!
