The Midas Epiphany
Lo’ behold!
 The Earth is gold!
 How great and grand
 To grow old
 In a wonderful land of gold!
 
 Out my door I walk big an’ bold.
 Who cares if I’m cold 
 In my yellow metallic robe?
 Not a single human mold
 In a wonderful land of gold!
 
 As I travel this shining yellow land 
 I realize it’s rather bland.
 No human voice
 No marching band
 Only one, color of sand
 
 It doesn’t take long for me to grow old.
 Instead of big and bold
 I walk small and shamed.
 There’s no one to hold
 In a wonderful land of gold.
 
 It is valuable I’m told. 
 But how can it be sold?
 A bar for a bar?
 I think I’ll just fold.
 In a wonderful land of gold.
