Deep within the ground.
I took a bucket and a shovel,
To see what could be found.
I had no map to tell me.
No x's marked the spot.
But a row of withered stems
Revealed to me a lot.
I did not dig directly there,
But a little farther back.
I did not want to hurt the treasure,
Or make it hard to pack.
A shovelful of dirt I turned.
I reached down, fingers cold,
And rolling from the ground
Was finally *Yukon Gold!
*Yukon Gold is a variety of potato.
