Toward Treasure

5/25/22 Living in the nether Couldn't keep it together For a long time wore a fetter Remaining tethered Occasionally got tarred and feathered To your expectations I lost interest if I'll ever measure Eventually I read a letter Took off my sweater Then walked an Irish Setter With a harness and leash made of leather I already moved on, but I'm not a forgetter These days there's a lot of rumor spreaders Throughout any kind of weather Instead of settling for lesser I got to do better at saving cheddar The same is said for pushing a hard line toward treasure Felt like I fell into a great rift Then into a snake pit Had to escape quick Before any fangs bit Instead of staying on the same I had to change it Instead of being makeshift Meanwhile I started to weightlift Off the leash To say the least I sunk in my teeth And had a feast Just like a beast In all directions, even the East I always wish the best to my nephew and niece Now I need to accomplish more feats Until I'm deceased Became a changed man Dealt some strange hands Across a wasteland Just when it all started to rain bad Couldn't stay sad Instead I'll remain glad If I may add Regardless of what fate had I had an adaptable game plan
