Forbidden Treasure

they told me never to go near it,
I listened to them all along,
and never went near it,
nor looked at it sharp enough,
a thought ocurred to me on a day,
and I broke the heed ,
and went by far nearest to it,
I found it exciting and good,
the next day I was still nearer,
and almost enjoyed it to the most,
in days that came along,
I grew so familiar with it,
that I disliked others nearing it,
now I told them "never"to go near it,
and also knew why they had,
told me so thus far.
