CLUE #1
Dan's fled the farm to some alarm, & now he roams the city.
A shoe he's shed I report with dread, alas - 'tis such a pity.
Were you to succeed the rules you must read, so let the games begin.
For the cash from the stead a button you will need, which place holds the shoe within?
Find it one must or it's a bust; the clues give I will be witty.
So start the fun - don't be out done; thus ends this little ditty.
