I'm going on a treasure hunt
and what do you think I should bring?
A chisel, a shovel, and maybe a
drill, and a sack to carry everything.
I'll wear some boots, cause the muck
could get deep, ya know, just in case.
And a protective mask, in the off chance
the truth smacks me in the face
I can't forget my map, even
though it's in secret code
I'll make sure I bring my TNT
yea, something may have to explode.
You may wonder why I have to go thru
this, it may even seem uncouth
The lengths a person has to go to
sometimes, simply to get to the truth.
I'll chisel thru the avoidances
I'll shovel out all of the sh........
I'll use my drill to bore a hole in your facade
Guess what, I can see part of it!
Can't drill a hole quite large enough
I'll have to blast through the rubble
I'm still asking myself why I even
bother going through all this trouble
Let me take cover...KABOOM!!!!
Look!!! All these jewels, silver and gold
The sheen and sparkle of all these precious
gems, is almost too much to behold
The funny thing is, it took so much
unnecessary effort to finally see what's true
I don't even want the treasure any more
so now my excavation is through....

Wow...
Isn't life funny, and yet sad, ...I have lived that poem one time. And I did exactly what you did.
...why should we have to bomb the ring,
to discover...there lies a "king"
I'm feeling this one very deeply...thanks for the memories.
 
Seems like the memories were bittersweet, queentswana. No, it shouldn't be that hard, thank you for your response.
Took you back too, huh jazzymoonchild? Truth is freeing, this is true, thank you.
Rich what you're saying sounds like one of those tricky presents...the ones where when you open one, it turns into another smaller one, and then another, etc. Pretty crafty response. Thank you.
