Explorer Minds

Golden treasures, priceless jewels
Gilded frames and olden tools
Archaeologists sit upon stools,
Waiting while the magma cools
Countless antiques and infinity more
Just think about what else is in store
What else would anyone ever want more?
But to stow away and explore
And be able to implore
Those who understate you
Brand new islands everyday
People studying them from June to May
And all I ever wanted to say:
I want to be an explorer
