Metal Detecting Poem by Lee Fones

today went metal detecting
dug up lots of muck
then i got reflecting
something serious was up

digging down really deep
shoveled up a pot of gold
was down about eight feet
standing there uncontrolled

twas a awesome, amazing sight
was all that gold, so shiny
then i saw a policeman light
his timing was untimely

grabbing Garrett 150, detector
i then began too quickly run
he shouted 'i'm a collector'
farmer shot him with a gun

the farmer couldn't believe
that gold that i had found
he started to heave
then heard the sirens sound

all that gold is mine
farmers emptying his slops
one hundred and twenty nine
gold colored milk bottle tops
