MONSTROSITY

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I think the cosmic significance of the Scituate Sea Monster episode has not been emphasized enough, and one dreary night in the Widener stacks I penned this little poem about the Monster, which might be of interest to you.

ODE TO THE SCITUATE SEA MONSTER

The sky black and closed,

Rain falling to drown;

The green-eyed monster heresy swims on;

Till waves wash up the dead beast.

The curious hack pieces for souvenirs:

The head severed for ever,

The carcass buried in sand.

But-only a basking shark.
