How did it come by
Nobody knew
A treasured find
Floating like a cork
bobbing in the sea
bobbing in the sea
Like a rubber dingy
tossed about in a storm
tossed about in a storm
It had come a long way
Lying forlornly like a sun-bather
Soaking it in by the shore
The two boys picked
it up
like a ragged doll
like a ragged doll
Chucked it off
Of no value to them
You picked it up uncorked it open
With bated breath perhaps a map
A pirate’s lair of untold riches
What did you find inside?
A light-house of no consequence
The two boys gave the cue earlier
Unwittingly they made a good decision
No free lunch made easy
Hmph, no treasure map. They had the right idea, chuck indeed and enjoy the shore.

ReplyDeleteAh, but one person's junk is another's treasure. I for one would find an odd little glass bottle with a picture of a lighthouse inside very cool! Nice write. :-)
