BEWITCHED
Samantha was baking for Darrin's birthday fete,
When Endora showed up, her work to beset.
She swore off magic to live life as a human,
But Mother was mixing the cinnamon with cumin.
She could easily whip up a cake, I suppose,
Yet she's determined not to twitch her witch nose.
She will need your help if she's to succeed,
But choose carefully, for only one will proceed.
We won't make it easy to find her abode,
To find the three numbers, we'll tell you in code:
The season and episode when to save a vacation,
Darrin splits in two -- one for Miami and one for the station.

Next you need the direction of the day's setting sun
And lastly the street before the address is done.
It's the name of the oldest university still on earth,
To give English-speaking education it's birth.

Choose one to enter and help our sweet witch,
So Darrin's party can go off without a hitch.
Just knock on the door with your apron in hand,
Samantha will clue you in to what we have planned.

SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH
It's Saturday night and the kids are all out.
There's even a teenage witch lurking about.
She's meeting Harvey for a wicked hot date
At the busiest of crossroads for him will she wait.

Find her wandering there and ask her this question
"What is a witch's favorite concession?"
If you've got the right girl, she won't look perplexed,
She'll give you the clue as to where to go next.
BLAIR WITCH
Three filmmakers set off for the woods
A backpack and a camera, their only goods.
Through darkest forest they seek to surmise,
Where the ghost of Ellie Kedward lies.

Daughter of a witch she practiced their trade
Until she was discovered and ultimately betrayed. 
Banished from the village and presumed to be dead,
Yet children still vanish so they search for her stead.

First, they'll set up their tent for a night of rest,
When they feel icy fingers stroking their chest.
Lured by her spell they knock on the back door,
Where she tells them what evil she has in store.
SNOW WHITE
The Queen who questioned the mirror bright
Recoils in horror when it answers, "Snow White."
For evil lies in a heart so withered and black
In darkest night she plots and plans her attack.
Off she sets for the harvest of William's Field,
A bushel of poisoned apple her crop did yield.
Knowing Snow likes to grab a drink in a rush
She'll mix the poison into a green apple slush.

Foiling her diabolical plan is your team's only option
So race to the drive-in and order said concoction.
But heed our warning, this task won't be easy
To fool the old hag tell her your name is "Sneezey."

WIZARD OF OZ-
Tin Man's been missing for many years now
Theodora stole his gift from the wizard somehow
He journeys with Dorothy to receive a new part,
For the Doctor promises, "I will give them a new heart."

Oh what he'd give just to feel a bit courageous
Your bravery and wit can be quite advantageous.
The goodness of Oz can be restored if you dare
But it's dark, it's late and you're more than just scared.

All that remains of your quest is to follow a road

Left for you is this one last clue to decode.
Go find the lair of one wicked old crone,
And listen for the whisper, "There's no place like home.
"
PUZZLE (wrap up puzzle with lollipop in team colors)
Were you thinking this was the end of the race?
Puzzled now that there's more to your chase?

Before the witches' prize is yours to claim,
You must piece together our last little game.
The members of the esteemed lollipop guild
Wish to  ensure the winners are worthy and skilled.
When you've put this all together, show us in text.
And we'll help you out with where to go next.


HANSEL AND GRETEL
In a time a famine, of no beans nor rice,
There lived a stepmother with a heart of ice.
Promising the children an evening at the park,
She left them at the crossroads, stranded in the dark.
Abandoned, they struggle to find their way home,
Heading West to the canal, tired and alone.
They crossed the bridge and found a trail,
Searching for their breadcrumbs to no avail.
In those horrible woods on that horrible night
The two looked up and saw posts of light.
Counting them as they walked the cement path,
Wondering what caused their stepmother's wrath.
Dark and disturbing, windy and bleak,
A shelter for the night the children did seek.
Wondering if they could even survive,
They started at one and made it to five.

Then after much searching, what a surprise,
a house made of candy, to the East lies!
Hiding back inside the shrub growing tall,
Into the bushes the siblings did crawl.

Licorice windows, a gummi bear door,
Wafers supporting the roof and the floor.
Plus up in the branches -- even more treats
Colored paper clues tied up with the sweets.

As they run to the fanciful house for a taste.
They spy an old hag, with a wrinkly pale face.
Not being stupid, they knew what to do.
They grab some candy and take off with your clue.

SNOW WHITE
The Queen who questioned the mirror bright
Recoils in horror when it answers, "Snow White."
For evil lies in a heart so withered and black
In darkest night she plots and plans her attack.
Off she sets for the harvest of William's Field,
A bushel of poisoned apple her crop did yield.
Knowing Snow likes to grab a drink in a rush
She'll mix the poison into a green apple slush.

Foiling her diabolical plan is your team's only option
So race to the drive-in and order said concoction.
But heed our warning, this task won't be easy
To fool the old hag tell her your name is "Sneezey."

URSULA -- LITTLE MERMAID
One wanted a change from her everyday scene,
Another wanted Power and the crown of a Queen.
When his Majesty learned of her wicked intention,
He immediately gave chase for a royal intervention.

Seeking shelter in her grand Hacienda of Power
Surrounded by bottom feeders, Ursula did cower.
With Desperado and Ruffian, the foulest of eels,
The villain hid in fear with Triton hot on her heels.

He and his Ranger were prepared to use force,
As they grabbed the Reins of each faithful seahorse.
Resolute, they followed the Trail south to her Court,
Fire trailing behind as they raced t'ward an evil to thwart.

At four-six-five-seven, Triton and his Ranger arrived,
Finally learning what deterrent the witch had contrived.
She'd hidden her hostage around back in frigid water:
The melodic voice of the king's youngest daughter.

Yes, in the Sea Witch's pool the magical shell lies,
One will have to dive deep to claim the coveted prize.
Hopefully you heeded the kind witches' admonition,
You'll want someone with a swimsuit for this acquisition.


What if you found these people traipsing around in your backyard and swimming in your pool?
