Big Bumblehorn
/ big • buhm • bl • horn /
I buzz through blooms, I scale gray stones,
With curling horns like mountain’s throne.
High cliffs and meadows guard my keep,
Where thunder stirs and secrets sleep.
I summon rain, I rouse the storm,
A beast of two in blended form.
But find me once—your fortune’s sworn,
Luck will follow the Big Bumblehorn.
