Pleasure Crafts



Antiquities around the globe
expensive treasures nosy probe
sailing ships and land rovers
expeditions charmed lucky people clovers
maps strewn across the tables
debunking treasure hunting fables
specialized equipment invented
fathoms pressure chest dented
amazing undertaking understated
grandly romanticized and overrated
electricity water and scrub
uprising delicately submersible sub
worldwide adventures risk
specialized data to a hard disk
location-location-location where?
Wide eyed into the treasures you stare
technology aided discovery true
secret missions through and through
originals expensive not for sale
publicly released restoring hale
