                GOBLIN GOLD


This free verse puzzle poem is also a working computer program which you can type into any version of the BASIC programming language.  The shareware programme Liberty Basic is recommended , as all you have to do is to paste the programme into the editor window.  You can also enjoy the poem just as it is, but when you get to the choice of doors, don't be tempted to take a peep at parts 2 and 3 until you have made your choice!
