The Last Neandertal

Grendel was a Neandertal,
the last man of his kind,
forced North into the wilderness
by Caucasoid genocide.

They pushed into his habitat
and when he pushed them back,
they called Beowulf to their aid
claiming they were attacked.

Grendel and his race are gone
but left their traces fair
of burials with flowers
and hybrids with red hair.

--

On a frost-bitten hill in the distance, men on horses.
"Over here!" he screams. Waves his arms.
They hesitate, feign deafness, ride away north.
Shoddy, he observes. The whole chilly universe, shoddy.

Actually, the description of Grendel and his mother living "underwater"
suggests they were beavers.

Perhaps unusually large and aggressive ones.

Cold foggy northern peat bogs aren't normally good habitat for reptiles,
save the odd adder, grass snake, small lizard, newt, and slow-worm.
Large reptiles, such as alligators, prefer shallow and open waterways,
in warm sunny climates, where they can swim around waiting for prey to
come within striking distance. Then they jump out and chomp down and
rip chunks off.

Muskrats like turtle swamps and rivers which are common where you live.

The RCMP wear muskrats on their heads in the winter. They're very warm.

I hear it's very difficult to train them to sit quietly on the Mountie's
head.

You make it sound like they wear _live_ muskrats, rather than hats
made from muskrat pelts.

How does one stock a muskrat with trout? That sounds . . . painful.
For both the person doing it and the muskrat (but mostly for the
muskrat).

Newts may look a bit lizard like but are in fact

It’s gotta be a documentary. They can’t possibly have been trying to act,
and there was no plot... And they did it at least three times, each time with
a bigger croc/gator/whatever. In Maine.

One, the other, or both?

If they want to be Canadians, they will have to learn to be
polite.

Ditto. Sorry. Well, not really.
