GOLD FROM A GRECIAN GALLEON

We nickeled & dimed our way up to the Iron Castle,

And underneath a stone we found the scarlet tassel.

We pulled the tassel up and with it came the treasure

Of a chest encrusted deep with gems in shining splendor.

Inside we found a thousand heavy gold medallions,

A pirate's hoarded take from an ancient Grecian galleon.

It took a year to smuggle out those precious ingots.

We mailed them home all uninsured like little trinkets.
