Smeagol's Haikus to Celebrate Gold at $500
Gold Treasure

Smeagol (11/28/05; 18:00:24MT - usagold.com msg#: 138454)
$>$>$>!FRN500.00!<$<$<$ Sssir BuongiooOOOOrnooo!... do you know what time it is?

As "The Mask" might shout,
"HOLD ON TO YOUR KRUGERRANDS,
IT'S GOLD HAIKU TIME!!!"

Buongiorno! (6/29/04, msg#: 122630) previously asked..."Can you save your little gems for us, then maybe show them all to celebrate $450 or $500 gold?"

ALL? (cackle!) Be careful what you wishes for, precious!! ~>8-)

"Four fifty!" I bid,
then I heard someone mutter,
"Dude, where have you been?"

Gracious Sir Buongiorno!, we remembered, O we certainly did!... and we saved the Hai-ku "gems" as you assked...

Some are old, some new,
some good, some happy, some sad
and some pretty bad!

...sss... and here they are, ALL of them we currently has, in (rather unremarkable) acknowledgment that it now takes 500 ever-shriveling US paper-IOU's to buy 31.1 grams of heavy, beautiful yellow Precious! Ach! Sssuch a deal, ssuch a ssteal! (grin)...

I burst out laughing
as they offer for my ounce
Hundreds of debt claims?!

In honor of the occasion and as it sstrikes uss, we have dedicated ssome to certain Knights and Ladies and others... but firsst, for all you Lurkers.... yesss...YOU:

What of YOUR wisdoms?
Voice those Thoughts and Questions
All will grow richer


For Physical Gold Advocates:

'Tis the gold season!
Load shotguns with magnum cash
Gold! Let's get us some!

Sham paper for Gold!
Who would believe it? Hush now.
Here come the players.

Fire both your barrels
when the paper-gold traders
lure the gold price down.

Bagging physical
while paper-gold contracts are
blown to confetti!

Poor paper traders!
It's almost unfair, you know.
They work hard for us.


For Paper-gold traders:

A hearty Thank You
for increasing my gold stash.
How's that paper feel?

over gold bonfires
traders toss their paper planes
short to and fro long

imagine selling that
which in truth you do not own
what's fraud among friends?

imagine buying that
which in truth you'll never own
I've a deal for you


For MK:

Laying in a course
by the North Star of Wealth
I sail confident.


For Town Crier:

How well this all works!
Sitesmith's work is never done
Kudos for TC!

Lo! What have ye done,
teaching Smeagol to haiku?
Reap now the whirlwind!


For Slingshot:

Goliath Dollar
never had a chance against
that ounce in my sling


For all the Hobbitses:

A bit o' lager
a bit o' food, fire an' gold
A bit o' heaven


For Sspot and Sspike:

They much prefer roo,
but they will jump for "It" too.
Hai! Release the Hounds!


For Gandalf the White:

meddling at peril
in the affairs of Wizards
Who let the Hounds out?


For the Banksters:

post-crash, what is the
penalty for yelling "GOLD!"
in a crowded bank?

For Clint Eastwood fans:

fistful of dollars
the gold, the bad, the ugly
do you feel lucky?


For Aristotle (where is he anyways?):

No gray area here;
fancy colored notes aside,
gold is black and white.


For Goldenpeace:

snow-clad mountain peak
millenial waters flow
nature pans her gold

For Belgian:

such a stressful game!
what strategies to survive?
gilt pawn smiles "Checkmate!"


For Melda Laure:

what is this nugget?
sunlight from a long lost age
seed of Laurelin


For Another and FOA:

prophets come and go;
a few listen and are saved,
most ignore, and pay.


For Black Blade:

it's a small world, no?
down at the foot of Oil Peak
I'll ask you again.

out of debt but not
food and water as storm falls
on my golden roof


For R Powell:

when golden sun hides
behind dark clouds then do
silver linings shine.


For Clink!:

hark! those golden coins
their unmistakeable ring!
pleasing chimes of wealth


For Henri:

gold comes from the earth
through life of joy, pain and death
there we all return.


For White Hills:

"No, keep the nuggets"
they said. "The discovering
is what we live for"


For Pritcho:

spelling-terrier
nipping at Dollar Bill's heels
why can't they be freinds?


For Dollar Bill:

in the daily news
there are truths to be found but
one must mine that gold


For Waverider:

seawater treasure
point one milligram per ton
out of sight not mined


For the Nations:

ponder its power
there's no quake like a goldquake
will you weather it?


For the Politicians:

whoever steals wealth
will be tried in the balance
and found to lack weight

------------

flailing hopelessly
tattered currencies yield to
golden gravity

rustling in the wind
not worth the time to rake them
dead dollars blowing

Think on this awhile...
the marvel of finding It
in the wilderness.

To get through tough times,
just remember the five G's:
God, Grub, Gold, Guts, Guns.

New-made bread, honey,
autumn fire, a lover's hair,
gold is everywhere.

Shout in trading pits,
trumpet loud outside the walls:
"FOR DELIVERY"!

If you would deny
my freedom to trade my wealth
will you forfeit yours?

There's no guarantees
saving my wealth as I go
but no one owns me

When Gold buys the Dow
on a one for one basis
consider wisely!

In cold vaults sleeping
as the clock ticks away years
gold dreams of warm hands

Gold confiscation?
This is not rocket science
use it don't lose it!

Traders pump and dump
Bending the branches for us
we gather low fruit


[the following, previously posted, are scattered through the Archives; some have landed in the HoF alongside a great many wonderful verses by others]

---
Silver? Platinum??
NICE, yes !!.... BUT, there's just SOMETHING
about the YELLOW !!! <;-)
---

Manipulation
Expect the unexpected
Know the art of war

Manipulation
A prestidigitation
toward an outcome

Manipulation
Mistaken apprehension
Gold will always win

Gold and Silver price?
Let it fall! 'Til paper burns,
buy real metal - cheap!

GOLD, FWIW
IMHO,
WSHTF.

WSHTF?
IMHO,
GOLD. FWIW. (thank you Aristotle)

What sad alchemy
converts life's thoughtful savings
to war, death and loss.

For effect, gold is
second, plutonium third,
mass ignorance first.

My worth very small,
yet I walk with Giants tall,
for our wealth is Gold.

Kingdoms come and go,
water and sand in the pan.
Gold remains, amused.

...which smothers the rock
breaking blades that cut paper...
Gold prices them all

White Hills, bright nuggets
May your shovel shine with them,
and your pouch heavy.

BOOM!... (haul, pulverize,
pile, leach, pump, electrolyze,
cast, roll, punch, stamp)... GOLD!

Man, I gave you gold,
Not to plunder, not to hoard.
Trade and wear it well!

Richly and justly,
gold reflects the colors of
paper-money fire

Ach! Financial storm!
There! a Golden lighthouse beam
Steady as she goes

While Plungeteers play
we trades their fiat for It
one ounce at a time

hiss... beep >crackle<... beep...
"Gold, you are go for liftoff"...
"To the Moon, Houston!"

Tons, thousands of tons,
Won from stone, shaft, hill and stream
One ounce at a time

Those enchanted by
derivative delusions
wreck on worthless rocks

Collateral gold
Confiscated, borrowed, sold.
Do you have title?

Before bubbles pop,
leaving nasty clinging debt,
go get Gold Goo-Gone

What is that you say?
The Emperor has no clothes?
Trust him not with gold!!!

Gold sits there range-bound
as all else goes to the sky.
Don't just sit there, BUY!

Gold-chained, he said
to the man with silver bars,
"Need some help with those"?

The chemistry of
element seventy-nine
fills books, hearts and minds.

Use silver bullets
against were-creatures, gold ones
on money-monsters

Kicked-in doors swing
(while they search and find nothing)
on precious hinges

"Trade ya this fer that"
will be on everyone's lips
'round the money fire

They suck our wealth-blood
while we faint on their tread-mills
May they choke on gold

Digging precious things
only invites disaster.
Koyaanisqatsi.

And lasst but not least, for this Hall:

Crowd the Table Round!
Buying from USAGOLD
keeps this Tale-fire lit

"Ssss!... Let us ssee Sam-hobbit put his pen where his mouth is!" ~>8-( -Smeagol
