The Mill wheel wouldn't turn until Spring Money was needed for refurbishing Built in nineteen hundred and seventeen It was advised they replace everything A treasured part of local history Host to all the town's social memories The wheel itself was pieced in artistry Workers heard tales of hidden treasury Whispers ran through the town from door to door The Mill required complete overhaul and more The expenses were beginning to soar They scoffed at hidden treasure folklore A deep freeze stopped all construction for weeks Influx of needed money appeared bleak The refurbished wheel was installed - now leaks Ice melts, revealing secrets - wheel creaks A puzzled technician on wheel repair Opens up a toolbox, gasps, stops to stare The bricks of gold have answered their prayers The Mill has been replicated with care!
