I Should Seen It Comin'

There is a space still unknown In the basement of my home In the dirt there's gotta be treasure Better go 'splorin' (for good measure) A century ago, this house came to be What I'll find, there's no guarantee I can see old bottles, a coffee can or two A light bulb, a glove and a very old shoe Trying to get a smaller bottle wedged on the other side A bit of history i did find, but bottle couldn't be pried A penny, dating back one hundred forty years or more Thirty of those years were before they even laid the floor! In one hundred and ten years, no one cared to notice This nice antiquity just lying right below us It Gave me hope, to say the very least Tenfold- my networth may have just increased! Look as I may, even still... wish as I might No treasures yet, so I'm calling it a night All I found was extremely old plumbin' Well, I guess I shoulda' seen it comin' ! 01-03-23 " I shoulda seen it comin' " Contest entry submit Sponsor: John Lawless
