Sasquatch & The Scoop Shovel

Waning Wolf Moon over Jupiter, Pollux, and Castor

Sasquatch stumbled upon a scoop shovel

Under the light of a waning Wolf Moon
When darkness would give way to twilight soon
Sasquatch wandered out from his hovel
Onto the beach where he spied a shovel
What is this strange thing? He thought with wonder
Is it useful or a trap to pull me asunder?
Oh, hark! I hear a human coming this way
It’ll have to wait for another day

“Sasquatch? Did you say Sasquatch? We heard he likes to eat cats!”

Dawn

Spunk: “I’m not afraid of no stinking Sasquatch! I kicked his butt six years ago when I slipped through a wormhole, and it took me a month to fight my way back into this dimension.”

  1. Sasquatch was tired of the forest?

    Love the black trio (or do we have to say Black?)

    I so remember when Spunk was out fighting Sasquatch and had us all worried about him!

    • The bosque is a cottonwood forest. Actually, New Mexico is a hot spot for Sasquatch activity. The director of UNM Gallup on the western edge of the state got in trouble back in 2017 for using UNM’s discretionary funds to hunt for Bigfoot, claiming it was legitimate research. The legislature passed a bill banning the use of public funds to hunt fictitious creatures in the next session. Here’s an article about Bigfoot in NM: https://hangar1publishing.com/blogs/cryptids/new-mexico-bigfoot-sightings Thanks, Dale.

  2. I have always wondered where Spunk was and what he was doing when he went missing for a month. We were all so happy when he showed up. 🤔🙂😻

    • It’s impressive when Spunk does his tough guy walk around the house. Talk about a stray cat strut! Thanks, Gigi.

  3. Tim, I love how your photographs carry the story forward and the poem opens another door into it. There’s something wonderfully future-facing about this way of sharing, letting image and word work together, each doing what it does best. And the Sasquatch idea was brilliant.

  4. What great photos. Sasquatch? Hmm I don’t think we have any Sasquatch activities up north lol
    The three black kitties look like they’re plotting some shenanigans!

  5. Your cats love kitty comfort on those blankets, Tim! I especially loved the black lace trees. Reminds me of Ian Tyson’s song “Farewell To The North”
