The hunt


by daughters_ofthe_moon

--------

     The holiday had now begun

     I wanted a negg, even just one

     I hunted high, I hunted low,

     I didn't know quite where to go

     I dove down deep into the lake

     but in the ruins was a fake

     I swam away feeling blue

     but what else could a person do...

     I searched the mountain way up high

     I gave the igloo sale a try

     I found a slushie on the cheap

     but alas the brain freeze made me weep

     I sailed the oceans til I hit the isles

     by then I'd travelled miles and miles

     you'd think the cove would be the perfect spot

     but there I found not a single jot

     I whizzed around to Illusen's glade

     Where the neggs are surely made

     but not a single one was there

     off hidden only who knows where

     Here I found the hints and clues

     to enlighten all of our views

     I read the tip but did it help?

     I thought it would be down at Kelp

     Back down to Maraqua I flew

     I chose the yummy Thornberry Brew

     No neggs were there, I wracked my brain

     This hunt was driving me insane

     I puzzled out the seeming code

     it put me back onto the road

     I arrived at the castle though it was late

     surely this must be my fate

     to find the negg and rest at last

     to put the hunt into the past

     I asked the king to let me in

     He didn't think I'd ever win

     I walked away and in I fell

     to the symol hole just like a well

     at last at the bottom I found

     a negg waiting safe and sound!

     At last I opened it for my prize

     And there inside to my surprise

     at the end of my hunt

     was That Slice of Cake You Always Want(ed)
