Adit
I heard it said there might be gold
Beneath a hill that I was sold
So I got to work with pick and spade,
And dug an adit through the hill
That is a shaft horizontal
To mine the gold for near on a decade.
But underneath this hilly ground
Inside my adit all I found
After all my work were angry worms,
Who berated me a bit
Because it seems that my adit
Had demolished what was their law firm!
They asked of me, "Where's your permit?"
I lied and said, "I'll go get it."
And exited my adit with some haste,
I quickly found a match to light
And chucked a stick of dynamite
Into the adit laying it to waste.
Many months went rolling by
And just when I was sure that I
Had blown up the worms and got away with it,
I went into my lounge one day
To discover in dismay
In my living room a gaping adit!
Inside which a hoard of worms
Made me gulp and want to squirm
Each one wearing wigs and court attire!
Declaring rather succinctly
That I was indeed guilty
And taking aim they loudly cried out "Fire!"
Thankfully my prosecution
Did not end in execution
Because they had such tiny little guns
Shooting sand for their bullets
It only stung a little bit
That I stood waiting till they were done...
So now I have inside my home
An adit of my very own
Not to mention a thriving law firm,
So you see it did unfold
That in the end I got my gold
Except it is the currency of worms!
