Atwaterpub: I found a little pebble

Monday, July 28, 2014

A marvel to behold

It was just a common stone

But to me; a piece of gold

I carried it with me everywhere

In my pocket or my hand.

Thinking it a lucky sign

I became a fortunate man

But when I showed my treasure

To the crowd upon the square

They declared that I was daft

And at my head did stare

So I took away my little rock

With deftness of my hand

Then that charm I threw away

In the nearest garbage can

And now I miss my little stone

And lament my lack of jewels

I trusted in the common crowd

And they’re just a bunch of fools.
