Gold

There was a man called Kelvin Klein,
He found gold in a secret mine,
He said, "Oh boy - it can shine,"
But from all the work he hurt his spine.
He went home and told his wife,
Because of the news, she dropped her knife,
Because of that – she lost her life,
Poor old Kelvin’s wife.
So then he went and told his dad,
Who said "Well done – that’s my lad,
I knew you wouldn’t make me sad,
But about your wife – that’s too bad."
So back he went to find more gold,
Until it went dark and he got cold,
So now he’s rich, and he’s not old,
The story of Kelvin – I have now told.
