    Young Man's Quest

    He came, only conquest in his mind,
    To win a trophy, who’s design refined
    He sighted carefully on the fiery heights
    Laid in supplies enough for several nights
    Made his plans to avoid the guards
    Anticipation growing hot in his innards
    The fateful day dawned warm and clear
    The object of his desire very near
    First he climbed the Mounts of Sheba
    Then descended the valley of allure
    Continued his conquest brave and sure
    The shaking began at the valleys peak
    His approach neither unsure or weak
    Holding firm to his hearts desire
    He set the nether mound of love on fire
    Rolling joyously with the heaving mound
    Valiantly, he dared much, but held his ground
    The long limbs at each side tossed and turned
    He neared the treasure for which he yearned
    The maiden of the misty dream he hoped
    Vision of the summit toward which he groped
    He drew his sword ready for his victory
    Plunging deeply pursuing his personal glory
    The brightness of her smile proved his joy
    Grander than his meager climbs as a boy
    Deeply and completely he delved for the prize
    Saw the perfect success in her shining eyes
    Would he ever scale the fiery heights again
    Yes, it is the destiny of all great men
    To search for treasure in a woman’s arms
    Falling victim to her endless magic charms.
