Poem for the Day - Ivory



A mission to be fulfilled
They set on course
The price so dear
They took all risk.
The mask to claim
Was ivory in nature
But then they thought:
Which was more grand?
The Ivory or the price
And they took it
Beautiful and costly
They set to leave
Without a trace of it missing
And neither price nor money
Did they receive
For they were caught
And tortured for the stolen Ivory.
