Underneath a loose floorboard,
priceless treasure lies
secure in a box of azure.
Faithful truck used
for countless getaways
and trips to the unknown.
Gold dubloon cleverly disguised
as a smooth black button
with an anchor on top.
Pieces of the ransom note
never sent to extort cookies
from Mom before lunch.
The key to a thousand
treasure chests dug up
in the back yard.
Red raffle ticket used
to board countless trains,
planes, and buses.
Pins of the secret society,
a shamrock and a pegasus,
one for each member.
All these treasures lie secure
in the little blue box and
in childhood.
