This cache is but one of six, each asking that your mind you fix
Upon the task of puzzle solving, detail noting, and code resolving
A notebook you will surely need, to track your progress throughout this deed
For when a cache you do complete, a key you’ll hold to help you meet
That which will be necessary, to rest from the final cache your victory
If a hint you find on a cache’s page, ‘tis for that cache’s location alone to gauge
Inside each cache a clue you will find, to solve its puzzle and settle your mind
But before you attempt to vanquish the last, you had best visit each and every cache
For only thus might you obtain the keys, that unlock the series mysteries

The caches in this series are as follows:
The Bard has his pen
The Script has been written
The Stage has been set
The Players have been chosen
The Scene has been performed
The Complete Works have been published (FINAL)
