Intro
Red kite waited in an oak,
High above the windy folk.
Verse 1
Striped tail ribbon west of there
Pointed eastward through the air.
No red string lay to the north.
West-field clues led safely forth.
Chorus
Watch direction, follow signs.
Ribbon, spool, and broken line.
Solve it safely, take your time.
Never climb a tree too high.
Verse 2
By a bench, a spool was found.
String ran toward the oak-tree ground.
Its name tag found the owner near.
A park worker brought safe gear.
Final Chorus
Pole brought down the kite once more.
Tail and string matched what she wore.
Clues can tell where objects flew,
Safety is a good clue too.
Make it story time.
