Welcome! Cryptozoology 101. | |
I'm (um...) Professor Frontalot! And you've come | |
to talk about the Loch Ness Monster. | |
Everybody wants to, but its study belongs to | |
the humblest catalogs of unknown truth. | |
You can order on the internet its front left tooth. | |
You could read my dissertation, “On A Fin With A Hoof,” | |
then you know we don't discuss it if there's already proof. | |
Come on. Put away the gray textbook | |
with its Yeti, Yeren, Almas and Bigfoot. | |
All this input you should have got in your pre-reqs. | |
Scholarly pretext? Check it for defects. | |
Better we devote our time as a class | |
to discovering the meaning of the creature at last. | |
To the monster! Is it real? I don't know. | |
It's a Tennessee stiff-legged fainting goat. | |
Must be the stuff of folklore and magic: | |
a creature so impossibly tragic. | |
I believe a pig can take wing, | |
but a Scare Goat is such an impossible thing. | |
What's the deterrent? Your mythology's current. | |
Some've seen it up close, and those videos weren't | |
abhorrent forgeries either, at all. | |
But a Scare Goat, I must insist, is forestalled | |
by any measure of your commonest sense, | |
and I wouldn't think that I would even have to dispense | |
this info: that this thing is just made up. | |
“Scare Goat:” something somebody pulled out of his butt. | |
What? No, wait a minute, we all agree | |
that the Skunk Ape and the Jersey Devil run free. | |
Don't try to test me in the Monterey Bay; | |
Bobo's so real he's become a cliché. | |
Got a Mongolian Death Worm at my house, | |
right next to Squonk and the Aqueous Mouse, | |
Chupacabras that pounce, though they'd never, | |
they can't, on seizurey midgets that aren't extant. | |
I'm the cryptozookeeper, true believer, | |
unicorn-chasing centaur seeker. | |
I'll accept what I cannot see, | |
but the fainting goat is too much for me. | |
I'm the myth truster when facts are lackluster. | |
but myotonia congenita is too much, sir. | |
I'll accept what I cannot see, | |
but not the fainting G O A T. | |
Go back in time, find Scully and Mulder. | |
Don't ask, just grab their zoology folder, | |
then bring it back to me now, if I'm still around; | |
I might be mingling with mole people underground | |
or up in the sky on a hippogryph, | |
flying through this abyss (it's in my syllabus). | |
I am instilling this knowledge in noggins: | |
imaginary animals come gumming and clogging | |
your mental acuity like the web of Anansi. | |
Now and in perpetuity cogitate fancily. | |
Figure this thing out, then sort it and keep it. | |
It'll be on the final like Bo Peep on sheep dip | |
(which she would have been on, if she'd been real – | |
she lived up in the meadow, wasn't that genteel). | |
I feel, in addition, since her tale's untrue, | |
girl must have been attendant to the Scare Goat too. |
