Here we go ‘round and ‘round
Sometimes up and sometimes down
But always only in the town
And only on the public’s ground

The goal, of course, to find the prize
A small medallion, stone cold-wise
Easy to hide but hard to find
With clues obtuse, yet oh so wise

Start at ground zero, in the middle
Follow your nose, no time to diddle?
Is it east or is it west
North or south, one will be best

A colorless rind of which there are many
Not exotic, not at all pretty
But important in a special way
And sometimes known to save the day

A humble abode for a glorious gem
Along a route, one takes now & then
The scenery’s changed, lately for sure
Where the future’s bright, there’ll be new allure

Soon flowers will bloom in a nearby place
Spring, summer, and fall, that space they will grace
One shouldn’t leave nature far behind
Except for this one special time

Clue 7
This space isn’t private, it’s there for all.
And don’t disregard its warning call
Don’t be too quick to move down the line
Insurance won’t cover, the law won’t be kind

Birds fly and fish swim, this we all know
Unfettered by rules of just where to go
Our choices are fewer when driving ahead
Turn left or turn right, or go straight instead

Clue 9
So now it comes down to the final hurrah
The last chance you’ll have to not be agog
Stop, look, and listen, I’ll never see
A sign that speaks so plain to me

Do stop! ...thinking about tomorrow
Do stop! ...you’ll soon be here
Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s too late
Look deep inside, as you stop at the gate
