Waves may whisper and breezes may blow,
Where dinners come with a sunset glow.
Tables await near the water’s embrace —
Find your next hint at this lakeside place.
Turn your wheels where the backward L lies,
With stars and stripes waving in the skies.
No need to fret, just follow through,
The trail ahead has a job for you.
Count the potties, one to four,
Then look around—there’s something more…
To keep the journey smooth and alive,
Turn right after 4 potties.
Past the “Poo Portal,” keep up your pace,
This next stretch is a longer race.
A sign of hail upon your left,
Of storms and dents, the road’s not bereft.
An American mailbox stands up proud,
Saluting silently, never loud.
Don’t stop at the stop—go straight instead,
With careful feet and a steady head.
A horse guards mail on your right side,
Trot on past with humble pride.
It’s a stretch, so don’t lose heart,
Another red octagon stands tall and clear,
But don’t be fooled—it’s downhill from here.
The breeze will guide, the path will bend,
And poles will mark it ‘til the end.
Count the sentries on your right—
Twenty-six poles, standing tight.
At the last one, take a left,
Of straight and narrow you’ll be bereft.
A yellow potty comes in view,
Not quite gold, but it’s your clue.
March on past the grizzly bear,
He won’t bite—just gives a stare.
Then take a left, no stop in sight,
And head toward 761.
Beyond the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s secret gate,
A hidden path will guide your fate.
Turn where circles guard the ground,
And quiet clues are waiting ’round.
Find the isle that’s caught between,
Two flowing waters, calm and keen.
Here, your shoes must meet the quest—
Seek the tip of the witch’s nose to find your rest.
The hunt is near its final part,
Where X marks the spot to steal your heart.
Hurry now, don’t be the last—
Race to the finish, go on, be fast!
