Bigfoot was on the move again.
🚨 BIGFOOT SIGHTING ALERT! 🚨
I’m taller than most and always full of cheer,
With a smile and a joke, I bring plenty of good humor here! 😎
I check to make sure you’re on track,
If you need a hand, I’ll help get you back!
But when there’s an emergency, I’m ready to go,
With the fire department, I’m part of the show! 🚒
I keep an eye on the students and make sure they’re all right,
Now go find this towering jokester hiding in plain sight!
