Caverns Of Gold There is a place below the ground Where you can hear a tapping sound Deep within the mother earth This place is filled with joy and mirth Here the little dwarfs do dwell Out of sight as you can tell The little tapping sound you hear Is mining for their jewels so dear They celebrate their daily find With feasts of the most delicious kind Eating meat and drinking wine There inside their diamond mine Piles of jewels are stacked about Each one they find they give a shout In those caverns lined with gold Lies wealth of every kind I’m told Each place you look's a precious gem They say that there are tons of them More wealth than you could ever save Is lying there within that cave Someday while they are fast asleep I’ll sneak into that cavern deep So quietly and all alone I’ll get some diamonds of my own I hope that they don’t capture me For if they do, my friend, you see You won’t be seeing me around ‘Cause I’ll be tapping underground |

What a fun read! It would be such an adventure to follow little dwarf-people! |

I'll buy a share of that gold mine. This was a fun verse--but when you sneak down there, I'll stay behind and be lookout, okay? Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Aw what a nice read. Truly enjoyed it, smiled the whole time I read it. "Death cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a while" The Princess Bride |
