Look into my flashing green eye.
Red flash.
Continually proceeding to a point in the line where the reward will surely be blankly stung across my green eye.
Green gold. Amen.
A plucky red flashing leaf shape. A beaming.
Several lashes as a reward. Sugar rush.
A fool’s errand. A fool’s gold, gold leaf, gold rush.
That’s the gold plan, and we’ve prepared pretty well for it.
