-->“When a homeless man is found in the woods
With his arm and his shoulder chewed off
Just outside Atlantic City on the first day of Spring,
FBI Agent Mulder suspects that it may be the work
Of the Legendary Old Jersey Devil.”


The X-Files, March 1993

The first day of Spring
And what should I see
A sighting of the Jersey Devil
Right here on the board at A.D.

Old Jersey hasn’t been spotted here all winter
Some say that he hibernates like an old bear
Some say he awakens with a taste for blood
So on your Spring hikes, be careful out there

Some say this mysterious old Jersey Devil is ancient
That he has been wandering the Barrens for centuries
Some say that he is as harmless as a furry little kitten
And that he tip toes through the Barrens, quite merrily

I do know that he has been missed here on A.D. by many
Who have been wondering, where the hell he could now be
So Welcome Back, to my devilish old brother with all the fur
This was a strange, but most welcome, Spring Sighting indeed

Who Remembers Jersey's Fondness For Chewing on Bones;
And His Brand New Spring Posting is Entitled ‘Bear With Me,’
It Appears That In His Cave, The Old Devil Is No Longer Alone!
