I had to memorize a poem in grade 5 that I absolutly loved and now I’d like to find it again to have to keep. I figured I’d ask all of you to see if anyone knows it; my next step would be to just order the book.
I believe it’s called “I Thought I Spotted Bigfoot”
“I thought I spotted bigfoot right behind me in the street,
there’s no way I could miss him, he had two gigantic feet.
He was utterly imposing standing ten feet tall or more,
he was surely no imposter thought we’d never met before…”
That’s about all I can remember from it :(
Anyone? Thanks for all your help!!
Much lurve,

@SpatzieLover oh my goodness yes! I love it! But sadly there is no poem of bigfoot there :(
@ElleBee I’m sorry to say that the poem you’re looking for is not yet to be found on any of the “norm” sites I know of. I’ll check a bit more.
I was always fond of this one (I think one of my teacher’s had it on a note board in our room)
@SpatzieLover oh yes that’s a really good one too, his poems are amazingly wonderful <3 Yah, I have been checking site after site and have come up unsuccessful :( Thanks so much for helping me search! Much lurve!
i’m definitely goiing to add this book onto my son’s x-mas list
I can’t find the contents yet, but it may be in this book!
Well, @ElleBee I think I’d just head over to Barnes & Noble and see if they have a copy to look over to read this one again. I can’t find the poem written out on the Net at all. Amazon has the cheapest price if you just want to buy it.
@SpatzieLover I agree with you, thanks for all your help though! It has been greatly appreciated! <3
@ElleBee I love children’s authors. He’s a great one.
@ElleBee – My wife and I read Prelutsky to our 8 year old son all the time. The book which contains, “I Thought I Spotted Bigfoot” is called “Monday’s Troll”. Page 24.
@ElleBee – Sorry, I just re-read the question, I see you know what book it was in…I was just reading the details and thought you were wondering where to find it. I will look in my son’s collection and see if he has that one, but I would suggest going to the library and checking it out.
@dalepetrie : Thank you for reminding me of this question!! I have been so incredibly busy lately >.< I’m going to go to the library right now! <3 Much Lurve to you!
@ElleBee – I dug the book out of my collection…it’s a pretty cheap book btw if you wanted to own a copy, $3.99 for the Scholastic version. Anyway, I can PM you the poem if you want. I don’t want to post it here because I saw a blog where someone had posted it and when I clicked on it, it said “removed at the request of the author.” Let me know, I have the book at my fingertips now.
