Another breezy summer has come and gone,
Sunny skies give over to gloom
Yet fear not (‘less fear's all you’ve got)—
The D&D H(a)unt is on!

Travel not far from city lights,
Leave the ‘burbs to soccer moms
Public land that's neither ‘course nor sand
Is where you’ll be setting your sights

Remember to leave all stones unturned

No holes in the ground, leave park features sound
And surely you won't get burned

So off you go to wander this land—
Why not lug a friend along?
There’s plenty of fun, and you might be the one
To have more than treasure in hand
