Dimples and Hard Rocks

       Shhhh. 

 

       Don’t tell anybody else

       Where the treasure is.

 

       It’s a secret.

 

       Take off your tennis shoes.

       Socks too.

       And scruntch your toes in the mud over here.

 

       You can feel a few rocks in it, can’t you?

       Feels good.

       Scratchy good.

 

       There a lot of sandstone around here

       Sandstone is kind of a rock

       But kind of not.

       Not a hard rock.

       You can break it.      

 

       We need to dig until we find the treasure.

      

       I uncovered this little piece of white rock.

       It looks like a tooth.

       That means there’s something down there.

 

       Take this stick and start digging.

       When the hole’s big enough to crawl into –

       Big enough to make a house out of it –

       Then we’ll give up

       If we haven’t found the treasure by then.

 

       But even if we don’t find the treasure

       It’ll be a neat place to go

       When everybody else is mad.

 

       Our own little hole

       In the ground.
