Search for Holly Fruit

36 Lines

Sam Adams was a paranormal researcher
For the Cosmos institute in Berkeley, California
They considered themselves to the real x files
The real deal so to speak.

He was obsessed with tracking down long-lost legends
One of the legends concerned magic fruit
Deep in the Himalayas.

Sam was convinced the magic fruit
Four prunes - were from the tree of life
And whoever ate them
Would gain immortality.

He led a team to the Himalayas
They came to a temple
Hidden in the thick forest
.
The monks came out
To greet the visitors
They got so few .


Sam explained their quest
The head monk said,

“the entrance to Shangrilá
And the garden of Eden
Lies in that cave

But beware
Few people have ever come back"

Sam Adams and his friends
stepped through the gate
Found a tree in the middle of the garden
The tree had four giant prunes
In the middle of the tree.

Sam Adams and his friends
Ate the forbidden fruit
Ate the four prunes
And were never seen again.
