Fred Norton's Last Ride
Clue #1
The Antique Coin
Clue #2
See No Evil
The story begins on fair seas and winds;
Embark on this voyage through history,
Where legends are told of a chimp cast in gold
For the one who deciphers the mystery
By tracing a line through the passage of time—
A route so rugged and bumpy—
In search of a clue that the legends are true
On the Quest for the Golden Monkey.
In this turbulent tale, the Seekers set sail
For the shores of a great inland ocean—
To find a home that they might call their own
And sing out their song of devotion.
Leaving the moor from a distant shore,
They followed the sun as it shone,
To journey afar with eight-pointed star
Off into the great, wide unknown.
Chasing the breeze across the high seas,
The ship and the waters were splendid,
But, taking the form of a powerful storm,
Malevolent forces descended—
In a howling gale with a torrent of hail
And clashes of lightning and thunder,
The rising tides spilled over the sides
And threatened to pull the ship under.
With all hands on deck to forestall the wreck,
They scrambled to batten the hatches,
But a rocky shoal tore the vessel a hole;
The sound told the depth of the damage.
With a turn of the screw, both cargo and crew
By the tempest were tossed to the waves—
According to lore, they tried for the shore
To escape from their watery graves.
The Seekers awoke when morning next broke
To a scene of sheer disbelief;
Though a bit worse for wear, the crew were all there
To breathe out a sigh of relief.
And soon they began the hard work at hand,
To carve out a place in the arbor—
In a forested brake at the edge of the lake,
They nestled right into the harbor.
And as the years passed, the Seekers held fast
To old ways in the face of the new,
But all signs portend they're nearing their end
And down to the last Chosen Few;
With no tranquil cove or evergreen grove—
The Others have felled all the trees—
A beacon of light still shines through the night,
Standing watch over the seas.
So stop for a few to admire the view
From lakeside lands of leisure—
Tabbed for reduction and reconstruction,
Make haste to uncover the treasure
To see no evil before the upheaval
Of land freshly barren and stumpy;
The moment is prime for a race against time
On the Quest for the Golden Monkey.
