“Inexplicable by Stewart Stafford
I ran into Bigfoot,
Or John Paul Yeti,
Told me of aliens,
Found by SETI.
E.T.s kidnapped me,
And I lost two hours,
Hurts to sit down now,
They never sent flowers.
Nessie gives the hump,
Or is it a boat’s wake?
So proud to be Scottish,
Bagpipes in the loch/lake.

“But cryptids exist in yet another way beyond stories and monuments. Many who love cryptids love them more as symbols of the natural world than as secrets of it. Cryptids are hopeful concepts: hope that the world is still a diverse place full of discovery. Hope that humankind hasn't zoned every square inch of the planet for McDonald's franchises. Hope that we haven't grown bored with our mother planet, that she still harbors wonders for us.”
