“Crypto Zoologists” Don’t Exist
Posted by: Loren Coleman on January 10th, 2007
Theeggfarm has many poems on their site, here and there and all around.
Allow me to share, if I might, which I much appreciate, one just found:
Untitled #8 (For Crypto Zoologists)
by hybrid
If every creature
Rumored but Unproven
By Crypto Zoologists
Were given a stewin’
I’d hazard a guess
that my favorite meat
Would be tender morsels
Of mermaid feet
In reply and in the same tone, let me pen my very own:
Mermaids Have No Feet (Untitled #1)
by Loren Coleman
Eggfarm
No harm
You made us two
Words as the who
But we are together
Which is much better
As cryptozoologists
Not “Crypto Zoologists”
So I must, of course, insist
“Crypto Zoologists” don’t exist
And mermaids don’t have feet
To eat and eat and eat.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.

On the other hand there are Krypto zoologists who study Superman’s pet dog.
Standing by the road
It’s at least ten feet
Seen by many
Some with infrared heat
Could it be a bear
The foot prints a fake
If only I had a camera
A blurry picture I would take
Wow. Add lighter fluid and a match, and we can have a bonfire of the inanities!
(Forgive me; I had to.)
Matches? Ain’t no flaming here.
But folks, have yee no fear.
Cause poetry can be a spellchecker,
Unless you read like a woodpecker.
But I don’t like green eggs and ham, said Sam I am.
