the big hairy ape
wandered into the spacious log cabin
the aroma of freshly baked cookies
drew him into the dwelling
like moths to a flame

A fir tree next to the front door
gave an air of dignity as the
reclusive primate is present
in a human dwelling
consuming yummy cookies

an elderly man ambles
into the cabin
naked, he is a skinny dipper
the owl hiding in the fir tree
hoots loudly, trumpeting his arrival

Bigfoot faints, he is caught
the old nudist wraps a lilac
towel around his body
he bends over and fans a
magazine over the prone ape

he is flexible and understanding
the unusual guest must be treated
with care and respect
so when Bigfoot comes to
cookies and milk await him

company and cookies are shared
both beings tell tales of the woods
the beauty and solace they share
far from civilization and stress
as an owl happily hoots
