That special time of year draws near, hooray! 
In Somerset we have a special treat. 
A famous French-Canadian entree, 
Our pea soup with potatoes, ham for meat. 
And yet there’s something else we really want, 
We Hunt for treasure in the summer sun, 
Medallion and glory all to flaunt, 
We follow clues until the prize is won. 
The last few times you found it way too fast. 
That’s no fun! This time I’ll make you sweat. 
Drip feed you clues to really make this last. 
Better study up lest you forget. 
School is out, so hunters sally forth! 
You're way off Track, your target’s farther north.

Somerset’s too big a place to search 
Of course I’ll narrow down your hunting ground 
Until you cross the Tracks you’re in the lurch. 
Towards the northern side of this small town. 
Hold on, that’s much too far! You need a clue. 
One more dividing line to mark your map. 
Forgot about those poems you wrote in school? 
Acrostic bridge will get you past the gap. 
Positioned in between these two neat lines 
Placement on the map is crystal clear. 
Letters on the left will be your signs, 
Explore this territory far and near.

Clue 3

Rhyming poems are harder than they look, 
Still, I must do this test by the book. 
North of Train Tracks, South of River, known. 
More specific clues may now be shown. 
The great outdoors is all around this town, 
Named after treasured folks of great renown. 
Triangulate between these three great parks, 
Use Veterans, Larry, Village as benchmarks. 
Walk about and use your ears and eyes. 
You might get lucky, find an early prize.

Clue 4

Spelling grammars rules still bother me. 
I don’t know who or whom or i before ee. 

Don’t pay attention to a small mistacke. 
I didn’t proofead this, give me a break! 

Just focus on th sun and bird and trees 
And don’t be frighened if you see some bees. 

Ggo walk this town, enjoy that summer air! 
(Ignore thata friend who thought they saw a bear). 

Then listen for the tickle of the rain 
And think before your win goes own the drain. 

In search of melodey where do you go? 
A peaceful place wheren giant flowers grow.

Clue 5

You haven’t found it yet?  What do you mean? 
I’m not sure how much clearer I could have been. 

The answer’s in the clues we got before. 
I thought you would have gotten it in four. 

Better study up, go hit the books. 
But don’t be loud or you’ll get some stern looks. 

Now travel to the tallest place around. 
More stories than any building in town. 

I bet the clues will start to make more sense 
(Unless you really are all just that dense). 

We’d love it if you stopped in to say hi, 
But this medallion is not inside.

Clue 6

Time is drawing near to pea soup days,
So no more of these treasure hunt delays!

We need to find this prize and do it fast,
Cuz this sixth clue will be your very last.

Not on the roof, get your head out of the gutter.
It would have slid down that black pipe like butter.

The flowing rain would wash it out the spout.
The itsy bitsy spider took this route.

It’s here with dirt and woodchips all around,
But don’t you dig too deep into the ground.

To you this medallion I will bequeath,
And all you have to do is look beneath.
