Prospecting for Gold

   Prospecting for gold 
     in a mosquito-infested ravine
   The junior explorers all mighty keen
     to prove their skeptics curmudgeony scolds

   And sure enough, they return all gap-toothed smiles
     pans overflowing with rare and precious gems 
   The kind prospectors turn up in sequestered mountain glens
     at the bottom of creeks that twist and turn for miles

  Old-timers gawk at the kids in wonder 
     their colored stones, all shapes and sizes
   containing abundant suspicious surprises  
     ~ Whose rock garden did these little ones plunder
