Submitted by KITCH on
Clue #1 
Thar's stories told thar's pirate's gold 
Stolen from ye olde martyr's stock 
To make yer haul, go search St. Paul 
You'll find the key is in the lock 

Clue #2 
The Chinook wind blows, and the gray sky snows 
As weary pirates seek shelter from the storm 
Just how much treasure will make yer pleasure? 
Thar’s a lot nearby but it shan’t make ye warm 

Clue #3 
A pirate must spy the stars with an eye 
And whilst navigating stay ever alert 
Misery'd prevail, if ye try to set sail 
In a ship aimed towards the rich Shepard's dirt. 

Clue #4 
“Grub at six bells,” the pirate yells, 
Zounds matey, tis nearly time for dinner. 
But ye must wit which spot to sit, 
Ones nearby might help make ye a winner. 

Clue #5 
A fire all aglow in me bungalow 
Tempts a pirate to spend me time in port 
But I’d best set sail and catch a strong gale 
To avoid me fateful, dire day in court. 

Clue #6 
When pirates sail by the sweet lorelei 
Aye, a careful prayer they must be keepin’ 
For her tempting call could well end it all 
And with the dead soldiers they’d be sleepin’. 

Clue #7 
“The way that be best to open ye chest 
Is to use a key”, the old pirate yawned. 
Disappoint it may, would you perhaps say, 
To be findin’ out the key had been pawned? 

Clue #8 
Tis a chain methinks fraught with many links 
That’s meanin’ yer close enough to smell’er 
Ye’d be no dummy hunting this mummy 
Aye, lest ye panic and go run yeller. 

Clue #9 
Skeletons sit silently, having not died violently, 
They’re simply sleeping through the winter days. 
Listen closely my dear, they say “Treasure is near, 
Buts if ye shall claims it, ye can not stays.” 

Clue #10 
Tis a park ye pursue, t’would be easy to view 
If’n ye knew the street whereby cars buzz 
But you’ll do just fine if ye get in line 
With what be the interstate that never was.

Yes, just a little. Think "Pirates of the Caribbean" for this one.

That's not a hint as to the meaning of the clue by the way. It's just the mental image you might want to have while reading it.

Stays are the heavy ropes on sailing vessels that run from the masts to the hull.

the skeleton key lock at north dale. which is an interesting place, albeit a bit difficult in getting everything to line up for the big w there.

as far as the plurals, cm, i wondered the same thing.

had the kids and the dogs out today. ran into becks and jake.

Stays were worn by children, both boys and girls, from the age of 18 months or when they were walking well. The first stays a child wore were "soft" or lightly boned and were never tightly laced

Now that's what I was looking for. Thanks Kitch.

not that i know of. the only plants that aren't dormant this time of year are evergreens. everything else, the wildflowers, and tall grasses are all dormant.

Stays are used in women's corsets too. And a skeleton is also a one man sled. There's a skeleton competition in the Olympics. That's the race where they race head first.

Well I'm off to dinner now but I have my phone with me in case anyone should happen to find it. Although with all those skeletons and mummys out there, I'd be surprised if anyone was really willing to go out and look in the dark. Mwah ha ha ha ha ha.

Skeletons could be dead tree stumps.

Don't forget the second line.

Terry

Evergreens actually go dormant - but don't lose their leaves so wouldn't have the skeleton look about 'em.

thanks for that one, ot.

Did those sleds at Crosby that were hanging on trees have runners? The ones for life saving? I never saw one of them. I suppose other parks might have something similar.
Mon, 02/20/2006 - 4:24 PM Permalink
tim_the_hunter

the ice boat and the sled doesn't make sense because they wouldn't sleep through the winter days :angry:
Mon, 02/20/2006 - 4:24 PM Permalink

But didn't AW say to sometimes disregard the obvious?

Not exactly what he said, but it's post 504.
