Another year of our hunt,
brings you to the parks again,
Seek you must,
To find my ball,
But first a riddle tasks you all.

"Where am I" you ask aloud,
Why not try where nature dwells,
Water flows,
Seek out a path,
Do not set out without your map.

Watch me come,
Watch me go,
Where does all that water go?
To the river?
To the Lake?
I hope you didn't sleep too late.
Up the hill,
Down the path,
Is that the Mayor running past?

Young and old come and play.
Along the waters edge they say.
"An untold story takes place till twilight here,
UFO's a plenty!" Exclaimed Claire.

"If you want to disbelieve,
watch them fly and bob and weave.
They go up and down in succession many times."
Each path they mark with cryptic signs.

The first," said young Sam. "with horns of a Ram,
While the last like fish chasing their tails as they swam!
If you look down the water-bearers way, be sure to hunt along that site,
and the crystal ball you might sight.
