Buried Treasures are True After All

I found a treasure the like of which the world has never seen before.

Even those in Solomon’s entire vault pale in comparison.

I have to tell you this (but please keep it between the two of us) for I am helpless to resist

The urge to tell the world how happy I am and Oh so blest.

To finalize the perfect plan of stowing me away deep into the heart

Of the forest of Tugasanan, the lair of bandits and their elk.

Is nowhere to be found by those who struggle to snatch it away in immodest haste,

For upon waking up the wind has blown away my dream of an ancient buried treas
