...Gobayth’s mind was nearly crushed,
this was his life now, it appeared,
and all sorts of depressing thoughts
flooded his mind that first half-year.

She ran around with friends,
Running round the house in pajamas,
Wishing the fun would never end,

Ruffling his curly brown hair,
How he spouted of whatever came to him,

Gold Fever 

History will not record the bloated weight
Of this pious and bigoted race

Towards the remains of a human
Nearby an outcrop of rocks that protruded
