At the end of the day....

Morty: "Remember the leprechaun?"
Michael: "Huh?"
Morty: "The one from the cereal ad."
Michael: "'They're magically delicious.' That guy?"
Morty: "Yeah. He's always chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But when he gets there at the end of the day... it's just corn flakes."
Michael: "Heh?"

I want something profound, use metaphor, i want it to speak volumes using not much description. Like he says, at the end of the day its just cornflakes, i want poems about something not being what you think it is, or working so hard for something only to discover it was right there infront of you.

Rules:

Be amazing. No crap
