White foam sprays and seagulls cry.
Bleached, white planks toast in the sun.
The children laugh and still I cry.
My life has come undone.
Family ties unravel fast.
Money burns our sordid past.
Jewels do tempt my nephews three;
Afraid of what will become of me.
Three in line to inherit mine:
Will Richard cook me a poison stew?
Will Herman prescribe a pill to kill?
Will Frederick make me laugh until I cry?
Until I die?
Beneath the pier is dark and deep.
Water cold and still I weep.
Secrets locked inside a box.
Seven rocks by seven rocks.
i don’t know. i’ll keep thining.
Thanks, Liquid Gold. It’s a tough one and I can use your help!
I think the first verses mean
By the sea
Children laugh but I cry
My life is undone
I think the second verses mean
Family unties quickly
Money makes us all greedy
my inheritance tempts my nephews 3
I am afraid of what they’ll do to me
Third verses
My three nephews inherent my
inheritance
Will Richard try to kill me with a poison stew. (Richard =nephew)
Will Herman make a pill to kill me ( Herman =nephew)
Will Frederick make me laugh umtil I cry or die (Frederick =nephew)
Fourth verses
Beneath the pier it’s dark and deep
The water is cold where I weep
The box reveals the secrets
7 rocks lay by 7 rocks
I think the pier is where the box is.
Excellent work, Lavender Lion! I think you’re onto something. I will add your spy notes to mine and continue to work on this case.
