Poetry for the BFRLC - Enjoy if you can

Haiku:
Hairy wanderer
Now, a mist falls upon you.
Indian Buffet?

Limerick:
There exists a creature called Yeti
Although know one has really met he.
Bigfoot researchers will go
For burritos or Pho
And know our work is not petty.

Beat:
I heard the ground stomping with ancestry,
Disbelief, oppression, confusion
Chase, fear, misunderstanding as I looked
Into his eyes knowing that he and I existed in a
Cosmic intertwining that may one day be explained but
Not in the streets or in the factories
Or in the churches, the classrooms, the government
But maybe when we meet all who ever was or ever will be
Souls here today, there yesterday, gone tomorrow but we
Still live on
Om Nama Shivaya we chant Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Yeren.
Sasquatch. Bigfoot. Yeti. Abominable Snowman.
At long last lunch has come.

BF AUTOBIOGRAPHY

This has got to be the funniest book in the world. BF fan or not, it is simply too funny. Graham Roumieu illustrator and author really finds a voice so compelling and consistant you begin to forget Bigfoot is a undiscovered hominid, instead believing him to be an everyday man, a 600-800lb hairy everyday man who hates Chewbacca.

Heres a few excerpts. This first one is titled

Stop, Smell Rose
Where You go, Man on Road?
Why You Run, When me want talk?
You manners bad, so me learn you good
Tear off legs
So no more run. :)


Another Excerpt...

"Me used to believe in good, now no more. World go sh**...just like Bigfoot screenwriting career"


Roumieu, whose illustrations have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Progressive, reveals the hairy hominids's brave struggles with eating disorders, casual cannibalism, and philosophical quandaries ("Me once believe in good. Now, no. World go shit, like Bigfoot screenwriting career."). In a full-color graphic novel, Roumieu offers a portrait of the artist as a young ape that will leave the reader howling with laughter.

Review:

"Brilliantly funny." San Francisco Chronicle
