Nessie

Thousands of miles

	from the fair Loch Ness banks,

Swimming in one

	of the world's largest tanks,

(You can feed her some fishes,

	but don't expect thanks)

This way to our greatest attraction!

Is she chartreuse

	or is she vermilion?

Is she amphibious?

	Is she reptilian?

Is she just one--

	or just one in a million?

She stirs up a major reaction!

Holding her breath?

	She can do it with ease.

(Though there is some concern

	if she happens to sneeze.)

Stay away from the edge

	and no flash pictures, please.

You might glimpse the tiniest fraction.

	(No refunds for dissatisfaction.)

This way to see Nessie in action!
