Clue #1
Greeting, Oh Greetings!
It’s Homecoming Again!
Time for the Rock!
I wonder who’ll win?

I’m hiding at TR!
I’m here. I’m just one!
Let’s cheer for the Dogs!
Come find me! It’s fun!

Clue #2
Don’t go in that room!
There’s really no need.
No key is required.
With you I’ll be freed!

You’ve looked for me low.
You’ve looked for me high.
More to the middle, I think.
To find me – don’t lie!

Clue #3
Again you must listen,
My words are all true!
Don’t go where you don’t belong,
Or you will be all through!

Safe from a Gnome,
Can’t reach me up here.
No dwarf or lilliputian,
Will cause me to fear.

The prostrate won’t find me.
You can, just look!
Ensconced in all black,
On primordial book.

Clue #4
I hang here and pine,
In my hammock so zipped.
As youngsters go round,
If you would only unclip!

My verdant abode,
so scented and lush.
It hardly ever changes,
Why are you in a rush?
