What Treasures Lie Beneath?

I discovered ancient treasure 
Inside our book drop just last week: 
Books, a pen, some papers, 
And something red that must have leaked! 


I never thought to look – 
Wasn’t part of my degree! – 
But, sure enough, deep within, 
Were books assigned a fee. 


Now my “lost book” list 
Is much smaller than before, 
And now I know to look 
Underneath that massive drawer!
