The Northern Wilds


Professor Haesphean Schmidt,
noted cryptozoologist and author of
the children best-seller "I Love Me Wumpus!"
was last seen taking an ill-advised trail
into the Northern Wilds.

It wasn't till the following summer
when a frontiersman discovered this
surviving portrait of Schmidt and other valuables
scattered about a debris mound
of the Giant Magpie.

I goffed up the first one. Let me try posting that again...

Professor Schmidt

“Professor Schmidt, Professor Schmidt,”
The giant Magpie danced,
“I want your compass, first aid kit,
Your alpenstock and plants!”

Professor Schmidt, no idiot,
Let the Magpie dance,
Until the greedy bird was forced to sit,
His cries asthmatic pants.

Professor Schmidt stood there a bit,
Then gave his watch a glance;
He left this sketch and first aid kit,
As a small remembrance.
