So bring on the fun, bring on the cheer
We started the hunt earlier this time
Stick near some fields, no hills you need climb
Sticking to the east is a tip to abide
The loot is stashed on public lands, you’ll see
But near a lake is not where the medallion shall be
Giving up so early is worthy of chide
Time to dig in, eye the challenge at hand
Leave shovel behind, you’re not moving sand
Don’t linger near festival laughter
Jamaica’s not far from this hiding place
Think year-round fun at a city play space
Don’t balk at this hunt, it should be a ball
Parks and fields, they’re both called fair
It’s safe to poke around this animal’s lair
