The Treasure

a weird silly poem...don't ask

At the tree where the purple bird sings
And where the monkey’s tail rings
Under the pile of gems and diamonds feet tall
Lies the treasure of them all
The golden part within
The heart of gold.

Look upon the tree
What doest thou see
Look a bit harder
Does thy heart fall
Beneath the crumpled wall

Now you see the treasure
Forever yours to pleasure
See the golden of the heart
Start to fade and drift apart
