Winning "Team" Clue

Wanda and Hilda --

This email is a friendly reminder that you have an appointment for an ugly wart removal on Saturday, October 19th at 7:00 pm

In order to remain in your graces after I charge you that outrageous co-pay,
here's a clue for your night of tricks, "It's the best," I'm sure you'll say.

As Wanda was getting ready to fly,
She grabbed her broom and headed for the Sky.
She flew over the Woods and above the Desert she rose,
On her way to remove that ugly wart from her nose.

Sign on door:
Now the Witch from the West was looking so fab,
But the Doc still had to send her wart South to the lab.
He told her a co-pay of $105 was due. . .
You must find this location to get your next clue.

Riparian Preserve

A crow lands in the black of night

Somewhere in Gilbert, you'll find this sight.

Owls or condors, it doesn't matter

We just love to hear all of their clatter.

Head North to find their avian ranches

Where they live among water and branches.

Taking the path to the scenic overlook

You'll come upon a babbling brook.

Just westward there lives a tree,

Haunted by a wailing banshee.

Will she predict your ultimate demise?

Or will you live on to win the prize?

Rest awhile to find the clue
Hiding somewhere just 'neath you.

Bosa

Turning a prince to frog or a nose to a snout,

Casting spells really wears a witch out!
And when we get stressed we look to food

To get us out of our gnarly mood.

What do you think we witches eat?
Eyes of newts, pickled pigs feet?
Toads and frog, a human child?

We're really not all that wild.

Usually we just need something sweet

Perhaps maple, glazed or powdered for a treat.

If you know much about Wanda's sweet tooth

Finding this spot won't take much of a sleuth.

At the spot where Gilbert and Chandler meet

You'll need to order something yummy to eat.

Walk in to order or use the drive thru,

"A dozen eyeballs" should get you your clue. . . .

(if you go to the right Bosa, right Whitie Tighties?)

Floodway

Trav’ling a haunted Field not so Green,

Lies a once-flooded pathway – hidden, unseen.

Amidst the rocks lie shimmering lights,

Beside a trail ridden with Heights.

Up six wooden steps after the bridge,

Mystery awaits along the ridge.

The hard one

Remember when Kristin jumped into the pool?

Along private, misty banks, the Oxydendrum tree grows.

Bones recently washed ashore, a chilling site to dispose.

Excavation will require, a soul strong and brave,

‘Cause not everyone is willing, to search dead-man’s cave!

If you want to know the bones’ final resting place,

Study up on Franklinken’s discovery in space.

A place where scriptures speak of curse; find the exact verse,

It’s there in Deuteronomy, you’ll find yourself immersed.

One thing more you need to know, to find where the bones are hidden.

Look closely for directions, the wrong entrance is forbidden.

Wal-Mart

Was every team parked legally?

We have recently learned of a cold, cold serial killer,

His mysterious factions have proven quite a thriller.

We hope by reading the obituary below,

Off to his final resting place you’ll go.

Cold, Cold Serial Killer Claims Another Victim

???????? -  (1964 - 2013)

Adults view him as clearly fictitious,
But all children know he’s magically delicious.
He’s endured many changes since his first edition,
But today still holds absolutely no nutrition.

Though unlucky in life, his legend’s still told,
At the end of the rainbow lies a large pot of gold.
He’s certainly survived by family and friends,
And luminous charms, their legend transcends.

Cold, Cold Serial Killer Claims Another Victim

???????? - (1971-2013)

Found near his cave, murdered by stones,
No cries for help, for there are no phones.
Believed to be an act of deceit,
The killer escaped by car on his feet.

Was it his dearest, close friend Mr. Rubble?
Or his sweet, pretty wife that caused all the trouble?
All that was heard as the Pebbles crashed down,
Was a BAM and a BAM, as they fell to his crow

We shall all miss seeing them up on our shelves,

The mystical sounds coming from three little elves.

We’ll miss whipping up a marshmallow treat,

Or adding some sugar to make them taste sweet.

Their music will now light up the skies,

The angels above forever apprised.

“Pif” “Paf” “Pof”, and “Knap” “Knetter” “Knak,”

We all grieve the loss of this crisped rice snack

Cold, Cold Serial Killer Claims Another Victim

??????? - (1987 - 2013)

Even Chef Wendell couldn't fake a happy face,

After his sous chefs disappeared without trace.

Their hats and aprons discovered by a girl

Were they off perfecting the cinnamon swirl?

Rumors arose when they were not to be found

Suggesting perhaps that the two had been drowned.

Or were they stuffed in the oven to turn into ash

And promptly thrown out with the morning trash?

The bakery was searched from high to low

The sugar, the crunch and even the dough.

Then a note was found by the whole grain miller,

Signed by none other than our cold serial killer

??????? - (1951 - 2013)

At 6:01. Police responded to a call

For a victim suffocated by basketball.

Our mascot was found at the local courts

A fitting end, since he was terrrrrific at sports.

Immediate suspects were Newt the Gnu

Elmo the Elephant and Katy the Kangaroo
Rounded up and taken down to the station,

Each rival questioned in this investigation.

His dying thoughts scrawled at he end of his life

Were of Jr, Antoinette and his adoring wife.
He dreams for them to meet a happier fate,
And wishes their remaining days are grrrreat

??????? - (1963 - 2013)

Our hero met a doom none could forsee

While sailing into the tempest tossed sea.

Sharks surrounded his naval ship

And the crew feared if would be their last trip

Bravely he offered himself as bait
And that is how he met his untimely fate.

At last, when the waves finally downed,

His Napoleon blue hat was all they found.

His accomplishments too long to list,

Horatio Magellan will surely be missed.

??????? - (1960 - 2013)

He was known to follow his nose, wherever it goes,

Unfortunately it led to his final repose.

While vacationing on a tropical atoll

He failed to smell the arsenic laced bowl.

Who knew that such a sweet, fruity scent

Would cause so many to mourn and lament.

He news of his death proved quite a doozy

To each nephew: Puey, Susey, and Louis.
