I'M a Lady of Leisure

I wandered on a journey, in search of treasure, priceless far beyond any kind of menial measure. After weeks of hard trekking, 258 miles due West, on 6/25 I lost my 20/20 vision. I needed a rest. I was sick of the infernal heat on this tiring quest. The warm breath of summer became quite a pest. A coral snake bit me but I didn't cry and ballyhoo. I ate him for dinner and wrote about him in Haiku. I was singing my swan song; an ache in my breast, so I gave up the search for finding that stupid chest. Because of my selfish need for greed and pleasure, I learned a life lesson. I've become a lady of leisure.
