“Crypto Zoologists” Don’t Exist

Cryptozoology

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.

Loren Coleman 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.
