Quick as silver, slow as gold--

A story of hokages, both young and old;

Dark ravens do this story behold...

--

Quick as silver, slow as gold--

Doesn't tend to make much sense,

Until you've gone and grown real old,

Traded looks for intelligence

And retired from the nin fold…

--

Quick as silver, slow as gold--

Sleek-to-brawny,

Shy-to-bold.

No, these aren't medals to show proudly,

More like curses, secrets to hold…

--

Quick as silver, slow as gold--

Hate is too threatening;

And even though you've been told and told and told

That you are better, that the traitor is worth not-a-thing;

Silver still rules gold…

--

Quick as silver, slow as gold--

Stray away from normality,

Its so boring sticking to the mold,

So, run away from reality,

If only to the konoha bingo book fold…

--

Quick as silver, slow as gold--

One of these days,

When silver isn't quick, and gold is not quite so bold,

Then we'll see that it truly pays to have

Silver pretend to hate that so slow gold…

--

Quick as silver, slow as gold--

Hn. How old.
