As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.
From there it’s no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There’ll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.
If you’ve been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.
So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answers I already know,
I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak
So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.
If you have any questions about the man who hid his treasure, hop over to this story and talk to the writer in the comments.

Poet Caroline Rothstein performs ‘Fat’, a powerful slam on her years dealing with an eating disorder.
Lady Gaga tweeted this earlier tonight (“A poem by a very inspiring woman. Called ‘FAT’ Welcome to the revolution.”), after Rothstein posted the video saying she is “SO grateful for Lady Gaga for her bravery and championship in spearheading this crucial conversation!”
It’s pretty awesome. You should watch it.

Sarah Palin writes funny emails!
That’s what we learned upon reading the latest batch of released emails sent during her super fun final months in office. But Michael Solomon didn’t just see emails, no no, far from it, he saw poetry.

Enquiring Minds
Stupidly ridiculous.
Like
They just ran a story last week
Saying
“See, we were right!
Bristol does drugs
Via Sherry Johnston”
Or some stupid thing
That the kids saw
On the cover
While shopping
At WalMart.
Newsverse! Our Jerry Adler is pretty great in this
