So, one she thought, the older gent
would be her target on the show,
for his backyard farm was perfect
to suit her scheme to strike a blow!
Though what she did not comprehend
was he’d worked hard for all he had,
and genuine love is from the heart!
and he sensed false intentions bad!

For comes to light his property,
when saying, ‘welcome to my backyard’!
means the vast gemfields of the West
(just like Russ Coight’s in that regard!)
And years of gold prospecting had,
entrenched life's values so he’d see,
‘gold diggers’ he’d sort out real quick
and that’s in all …reality!
