After recovering from the sudden wedding party thrown by Tuck, Alan went for a short walk to begin composing a song for his new bride Ellen. At first he was unable to think of a single word that rhymed with the color of his true love's hair. He kept walking and mumbling four-letter words until he arrived at
this location. Here he came up with a rhyme, but it was such a stretch that he wrote the following song instead:

"Very busy spot, many come past, some hike here, some ride
thru.
Just like this song, each word from your logs mite have only four
rune.
Swag free, pill jars don't hold very much.
Tall tree? Don't even look.
Pine? Nope. Bush? Next. Rock? Same deal.
Alan took full buck bill from rich folk,
left here that best good hood will take away,
then give some poor soul even more."

Good Luck.
