The story is told
of a man and his gold
That does seem somewhat fishy
He lived in a van
had an albinos tan
His demeanor was somewhat swishy

He dug with his hands
and sifted through pans
Though gold was nowhere he went
He searched on for days
Through wind, fog and haze
Seeking that mighty gold scent

This all does seem strange
Sick, twisted and derranged
But I promise its going somewhere
The man remained calm
When his van blew like a bomb
And left him stranded in middle nowhere

He then ripped off his clothes
Thrust a finger up his nose
And claimed he'd yet find his gold!
He wriggled and winced
His finger he tensed
Just before his body went cold!

White suits call him sir
He talks with a slur
And, yes, his search was in vain
His new hobby is drool
but I think he's cool
Because he managed to pluck out his brain!
