A chunk of metal bought as lead.
An ingot of silver it is instead.
Six kids brought it to the dealer.
Each, arrested as a stealer,
Uses a cot in jail cell as a bed.
This story does have its class:
A frozen form of natural gas,
Eighty-five trillion cubic feet of it,
Lies beneath the feet of it --
Land the North Slope does encompass.
Crafted of emerald, pearl and gold.
Priceless earring two-thousand years old.
As fine a jewel as ever was seen.
Uncovered in a structure Byzantine
Built centuries after the gem was sold.
