I seem to see a Shining One, / With eyes that gleam, now fierce, now tender, / Through Goggles that reflect the Sun / "With more than Oriental Splendor"; / I see him sitting on a chest / Heavy with padlocks, bolts, and cording, / Where Untold Treasures hidden rest, / Treasures of Untold Yarns he's hoarding. / Oh, Rudyard, please unlock that chest! / With hope deferred we're growing hoary; / Or was it all an empty jest / Your saying, "That's another story"?
