Ode to Big Foot

 

Feet as big as a purple dinosaur

Hair like some kind of Sasquatch

He roams around unseen

Like he’s a Ninja or something

But he doesn’t dress in black

Because he’s not gothic

He doesn’t even wear clothes

Almost like he’s some kind of rebel

Because rebels do what they want

And do crazy shenanigans like crazy teenagers do

With skateboards and punk rock music

Only he listens to metal

That’s because he was teased as a child

‘Cause his feet resembled purple dinosaurs

He was also abused by his dad, Godzilla

Plus his mom was an angry cleaver who threatened him

Not like most parents

But Big Foot isn’t like most kids either

He’s different than other people

‘Cause he has big feet
