Fool's Gold Sold

A new gang leader gave them the directions to see if they would follow through He even gave them one vital clue He promised them a big cut once the mission was complete “Jan” as they called him was no dead beat He was a master crook, as devious as hell Few who knew him were alive to tell The three disappeared as soon as he left He was a very smart man, very adept They drove for days to get to the abandoned old mine They searched the area thoroughly and found sparkling yellow crystals with a golden shine As darkness fell, they brought torches and shovels and loaded it onto their trucks Time to make the big bucks They found a buyer that paid them in cash When they returned the FBI pounced and arrested them all The buyer had not lost any time in making the call With millions they had stolen in the past, the leader and his friend disappeared into thin air For fool’s gold they had aided the pair
