A pirate's dream

I'm digging gold jewelries buried
in the sand, thousands of them
but I'm not just taking everything
I'm choosing the best looking ones
the most dainty, most intriguing
I know I'm not supposed to be here
so I'm digging in all haste now
taking as much as I can
even the tacky ones
chain necklaces, elegant rings
old and odd looking things,
Worth a pirate's loot
Digging, digging...
I've been digging
all night it seems
Imagine my regret
when I woke up
realizing I've taken
nothing.
