Golden Issues Chap. 5

Next morning we were awaked by a howling Beagle

Dangling from the claws of a flying Eagle

The dog was upset because of the height

We hoped the Eagle would put an end to its fright

Thankfully Clyde told us the Eagle was a pretty good friend

And he’d convinced it to have the flight come to an end

However instead of Eagle having Beagle for lunch

We had to get something else a hungry Eagle could munch

With Eagle also looking about for something else to eat

We suggested that he give up catching live meat

And he agreed, saying all it would take

Would be a Teen burger with a strawberry shake

The Beagle, so extremely grateful to avoid this doggy crime

Rewarded us by taking us to a hidden gold mine

Using our 4x4 jeep to climb over rough terrain

Something we ended up doing again and again

Until finding billions of dollars of gold just laying about

Having Claude and I erase any pout on our snout

Finally, after carrying all that gold out of the mine

We bought another grog pub, also adding tons-a-wine

Which we happily shared with our grateful canine

But just as we were about to blow every dime

We remembered how things didn’t work well last time

Instead, we took our gold and deposited it into a bank

Saving a little bit to pay for what we had already drank

However, from the other side of the town where we wandered

We heard an explosion about which we three then pondered

It seems that no sooner had we settled into our new way

We got a phone call thoroughly upsetting our day

What had happened, to our shock and grief

Just as we had managed to turn over a new leaf

We received news leaving us totally sad and slobbery

Hearing the bank with our gold, had suffered a robbery

Every last piece of gold that we’d left there earlier this day

Had been stolen and taken, far, far away

There circulated some talk of abuncha sailors from Spain

Who pulled this job to get their stolen gold back again

This situation had us sell our jeep to buy a drone flying ship

Which allowed us to pursue them before giving us the slip

They had taken a wagon train cross the lonesome prairies

Which we followed in our drone, while crouched on our knees

To where, in the black hills of Dakota, they set up camp

The same location we set down, using our drone’s night lamp

A desperate Clyde quickly jumped down onto the ground

Leaving something behind weighing somewhere around a lb.

Then with night having set in and because we were beat

We all fell asleep in the drone’s back seat

A fun tale , though the ending wasn’t funny at all… all that money lost, including.not finding the dregs who stole it! How was the drone ride? How did you manage to carry all that gold out of the mine? It’s heavy…job well done Davie!
Warmly, BESTB

These many questions, which impressively deep thought went into, R hopefully things that future episodes may address, however as a master weaver of many tales, you yourself are no doubt, extremely aware of how some details, either meaningful or otherwise, may never be effectively addressed!
Yes, I am blathering!
Such is life.
However, the future awaits, with more episodes coming to foul the pages of WC,
Best wishes for a lovely day BESTB,

[Betty Hermelee]

Blather on my friend, it’s good for the soul!
Warmly, B

[John the Baptist]

Well, finding billions of dollars just lying about can be a traumatic experience. I know it changed my life.

[Dave Brown]

Ahh...., Now I know how you can afford all those carefully parked, new cars
And me thinking your missions in life was to ease suffering, but in reality, gold hording guys like you just feed inflation.
