letra de the dragon hoard - marc gunn

i stumbled on a dragon h–rd
and lord, it was a mountain!
if i hadn’t heard her comin’ back
i’d still be there a’countin’

i found a solid golden cup
and two jeweled finger rings
three sharp battle axes
and four big silver springs
(dunno what those were for…)

there were five glowing rubies
and six fine emerald clips
seven strong iron helmets
and eight nice leather whips
(not cat’o’nines, but they’ll do…)

nine large diamonds gleamed
upon ten spun bales of lace
eleven chains twined in a braid—
a dozen chests held them in place
(full of plunder, i betcha… but they was locked.)

i was there all alone, but i grabbed what i could
till my pockets they bulged at the seams
and i vowed that return there i would
to gather the wealth of my dreams
i staggered on back to my hearth and home
and i emptied out all of my treasure
determined that i would count again—
now i that had me the leisure

in the bright light of day, my joy melted away—
as i saw what it was i had got…
all that glitters ain’t gold as i’m sure you’ve been told—
and what i had pilfered was not

there was one pewter mug
and two old brass rings
three stone blades that were chipped
and four bits of old waxen string
(i do need new boot laces…)

there are five red glass bits
and six moss green too
seven battered skullcaps of bronze
and eight straps of leather and glue
(well, that’s somethin’ then…)

nine blobs of clear crystal sap
and ten clumps of cobwebs so fine
eleven cheap trinkets entwined…
and the chests, i had left them behind
(prob’ly empty anyway.)
i cursed quite a bit regarding my luck
but then i just started to chuckle…
the greed of a pirate in a dark cavern’s hold
is sure to make treasure of truckle!
