In lands afar where dragons once did soar,
Xena Lin joins the gold rush with a thrill,
Buying "beans," morsels of gold galore,
Investing wisely in an age old skill.
Her fingertips hold nuggets glittering bright,
A fraction of an ounce, a steal so bold,
To watch gold's climb, a wondrous sight,
Inspiring investments, turning hearts cold.
China, the player in this golden game,
Propelling prices to the highest peaks,
As tensions rise, they stake their claim,
In the market where precious metal speaks.
The world watches as this tale unfolds,
With gold's allure, the story never gets old.
