Where is it?

Many a traveler seeks to unravel her mysteries, secrets, and lore.

Spends pretty pennies on questioning denizens, seeking to live evermore,

to find El Dorado. Would that they rather found a more fruitful pursuit.

Their queries unbidden, so it remains hidden, whether on horseback or foot.

They botch and they bungle, get lost in the jungle, all the while thinking they’re close,

when by any good measure, if searching for treasure, it’s right in front of your nose.
