There\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s gold in them there.

2781

I started on a project 

A few years ago 

Involved ashes and acid 

Thought I was in the know

After some disappointment 

And in a time of need

I put it in a cupboard 

To return to when things are lean 

All of this solution 

I don't know how to ask

I'll try electrowinning 

Either way could be a blast 

The results were amazing 

Black sludge everywhere 

I counted up my blessing 

Forgetting past despair 

My hopes were tempered 

I shouldn't be surprised 

A wash in nitric acid 

Dissolved my fortune before my eyes 

The little left I washed and rinsed 

And repeated over at length 

Then I hit it with AR and now have a cocktail 

That looks like creme de menthe.

    Sounds like a plan. I like the rhyme scheme and the prose that leads to perhaps a joyous climax. Nice piece

        Not sure if you have any interest in jazz but if you do even a little, please check out a piece I posted that speaks to how I think jazz and hip hop are the same. It titled
        Thelonious Reborn Ad the Dee Oh Double G. Wud really appreciate your thoughts? Thanks

                    I did try, but my skills match my eyes! I try long hand.
