Igopogo
Richard Stevenson
Igopogo
of lake Simcoe
has a dino bod
and dog head.
Doesn’t know
where to go:
lake bottom
or dinner bowl?
Fish or crunchies?
So many munchies!
Schools of fish!
G’won, make a wish!
Fish sandwich
with a soft
dog food spread?
We can do that!
Place your order,
but you gotta
pick it up
in serpent!

Stevenson retired after a thirty-year teaching stint at Lethbridge College and
now lives in Nanaimo, BC. Forthcoming books include a trilogy, Cryptid Shindig,
from Hidden Brook Press ( including the volumes If a Dolphin Had Digits,
Nightcrawlers, and Radioactive Frogs); a standalone collection, An Abominable
Swamp Slob Named Bob, from Altered Reality Press; and collection of haikai and
lyric poems for younger kids, Action Dachshund! (from Ekstasis Editions).
He’s hoping to put another edition of his poetry/rock troupe, Sasquatch,
together when Covid takes a bow and we can have live music again.
