To Mister E

You say that you keep things close to the vest -
That's OK - I like to guess.
Down to a few I've narrowed it
I'm wasting time doing this shit.

But this is fun, and don't I know it,
Playing games with a mysterious poet.
I wanna know who you are, but I will not fret;
I'll just make a proposition -- which I'll later regret.

Let's drag this out (with your permission)
Let's complicate things with a photo mission.
You give me clues of places around --
No more than 20 miles outside of town.

When I think I know it, a picture I'll take
(For my Memphis album, this will be great!)
If I'm wrong, I'll just have to try again
If I'm right, a clue you'll be givin'.

A couple more ground rules: I will not go
Anywhere unsafe or illegal (I have limits, you know).
I know you are asking, "What the hell?"
I bet you weren't expecting this ... but oh well.

No need to be speedy BUT no need to waste time
When I figure it out, five pineapples are mine.
It's kinda like pen pals, but it won't be the same
I think it's much more fun playing this game.

I've got six months to kill, this could be worse --
Now it's your turn: Answer me in verse.

So to recap: Clues of places where I'll take photos for my Memphis album. Nowhere unsafe or illegal (e.g. the top of Sterick or the M-bridge), nowhere too expensive (Chez Philippe isn't in my budget). Cut me some slack now and then. Collaborations are OK on your end and mine, as long as certain friends -- like you-know-who -- don't suggest zany places I'd rather not go.

If I get a pic, you give me a clue. If I don't get a pic, we start the whole thing over. Figure out a way for me to make sure the clues are really from you and not from some other person trying to trip me up. Time limit is when I move in six months.

P.S. My original plan was cyber Truth or Dare, but I know how you roll. ^_^
P.P.S. Please, please play along. It'll liven things up. :)
