Small, skeptical AP story

Here.

An excerpt:
Doubters say millions of dollars are being spent on the false claim, and irrefutable proof should have been gathered before the announcement was made.

Believers respond that they are convinced the bird exists in Arkansas.

Sparling
The darling
Was first
To thirst
For grail
So frail
He conceived
And believed
views fleeting
Heart beating
His nursery
Made history

It’s Tim
Who saw
White and all
Bobby too
As it flew
Both cried
Teary eyed

Luneau
You Know
Video’ed
Then crowed
What luck!
And pluck
Four secon’s
He reck’ins
No more
It’s poor
But below
On Tupelo
Perched on trunk
White as skunk
It’s there
I swear

Makes three
You see
Who saw
That’s all

But it’s then
I reck’in
Fitz believed
And conceived
Not mystery
But history
Cornell?
Oh hell!
For him
And Tim
And Sparling
The darling
Bobby too
Oh screw!
And Luneau
And his Tupelo

I'll continue this line of reasoning.


As Skeptic
I’m peptic
Cold Fusion
Confusion?
Can’t believe
Even conceive
Ivory Bills
In the hills
Arkansas
Or at all
Can’t believe
Even conceive
A Universe
So diverse
To give us
Sparling
The darling
Bobby too
Oh screw!
And him
Ol’ Tim
Or Luneau
And his Tupelo

Campephilus
You thrill us
We hairless gorillas

Extinct or extant
We try but we can’t
Escape from your aura
Is that you in the flora?

Please show more than a retrix
To the questioning skeptics
who appear to have malice
for our dear principalis

Nancy Tanner, widow of James T Tanner, saw these birds on his research trip in the late 1930s. She has seen the evidence and believes it to be true. Should we trust the expertise of those who have never seen the I-bill, or those who have seen and heard it in person?

"[Nancy Tanner] has seen the evidence and believes it to be true."

Can you please post a link to back up that assertion?
