The Man In the Cavern and the Gypsies At the Tavern
Someone moved the rock
And the village’s Gypsies were in shock
Hearing it was a progressive move
They sat at the bar wondering if this could be proved
What was being blocked by this rock?
A question was asked
Each enjoying happy hour magic in their flask
Apparently inside the cavern
The Gypsies gossiped at the tavern
Someone had died
And placed him inside
Were there riches lay to rest with all his mortuary stitches?
After a few more rounds
They decided to go and see what could be found
Leaving the tavern they went to the cavern
When they arrived
With the goal to peek inside to see the person who died
The rock moved back
Nothing was open not even a crack
Someone must have tried
To seal up what was inside
Boy was this a mystery
Worthy of a place in the Gypsy’s history
A moving rock that put the Gypsies in shock
Someone inside the cavern down the street from the tavern
Upon returning to the reserved stools
They said through their drools
“This was weird”
“And was worthy of a toast with a their favorite beer”
Here we put the story to rest
Knowing rocks don’t move unless
There is going to be something to confess
Now take another shot of that Gypsy brew
Giving a celebratory respect to a spirit who now can be deemed true
