   Of finding more than treasure there.”

     With some interesting stuff,
     For now they're bare and full of air,
     Dead flies and bits of fluff,
     So teach us something worth knowing,
     Bring us back what we've forgot,
     Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
     And learn until our brains all rot...”
