2015 Jordan Heimatfest Medallion Hunt

Lucky you! The weather’s good
For hunting in your neighborhood
No storms or lightning scare the kids
So maybe they’ll abandon vids

Picnic in the park before
Enjoy good food from garden, store
Wrap it up and store in boot
Searching’s gonna be a hoot

Wander near, don’t drive away
Detour traffic makes one stay
Inside Jordan, that’s for sure
Finding gold effects a cure

Stroll around your city fair
Single file unless you dare
Friends and family: come and join
Take a selfie with your coin

Your luck’s holding ‘neath blue skies
As your search group for gold vies
Come what may, one searcher wins
Knowing where to look gains grins

Yellow coin does sit and wait
Although it may hang on gate
Chuckling as the cars drive by
Knocks on windshield, saying “Hi!”


Yes, it bides in one clear bag
After scorning dirt path drag
Caution please, now! Safety first
Keenly watch then give speed burst

Yank the bag, then look for cars
Always bend your eyes off Mars
Clearly, gold awaits on Earth
Keeping watch with gleeful mirth

Keenly feel the western breeze
Numbly catch impending sneeze
Only those in northern climes
Wait while weather turns on dimes

Knobs turn locks on, volumes down
Needless turns do cause a frown
Outward go until street ends
Where your trek should take no bends

Knowing not which way to turn
Now you must ahead eyes turn
Ordinary signs to each direct
Where for gold you can prospect

Kneel in grass ‘til safe to stand
Next you reach with grasping hand
Opt for pulling back and forth
Wrenching pack for all your worth
