The IGH hunt is once again here

A unique theme this time, but do not fear

The treasure is hidden for all to seek

But do your research, and don’t be meek



Our theme is an important moment in time

A small part is found, in each of our rhymes

A horrible day back in Sixty-Three

A great President died, as many did see



As this event brings you close to the treasure

We need to take time and make sure we remember

This great President and all that he was

And what Santayana once said that history does

It was Merriam Smith of UPI

Who uttered two words we all would surmise

Whether in Dealey Plaza or our IGH Park

It’s a Grassy Knoll with the trees and the bark

Two key investigations led the way

It’s the second of which is important today

It was a Select Committee, they said more than one

The year they finished gets you close to the fun

James Files the man, spending life in the can

Tells a story quite exceptional

Persuasive enough, the guy is tough

But his story is full of deception



Superintendent in charge, his power large

Over Oswald and the rest of the crew

Truly was his name, and school books his game

Putting it together is all up to you

A couple named Newman, a family of four

Went to the Plaza and saw all the horror

A son named Billy, nice as can be

But it’s their youngest son you’ll need to see
