The Yeti (unpublished children's poem)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!
