As before, these boxes we do adore; A little ways from the mural you need to look; spreading literacy is what they're for; it says to "take" and WHAT a book?

8. Community Flower Garden // 201 Short St // Blue Ridge Children's Museum

Beneath Kaiya's towering gaze, children painted with pure amaze, flowers bloom and bees doze, find the path where senses compose.

9. Sun, Moon, & Stars Ladies // 150 Race Ave // Stone Soup Books

Shop for a book; after you look; somewhere around the corner and in that zone; What number is engraved in stone?

10. LOVEworks // 101 Short St // Constitution Park

Waynesboro loves fishing with over 50 species around; However, living next to a river can sometimes be a test; Alongside figures of fish can be found; "who" was responsible for the highest historical crest?

11. Soap Box // 100 W Main St // Constitution Park

12. Waynesboro Founding Plaque // 207 E Main St // Constitution Park Pavilion

15. Octo-Paint-Us // Lumos Plaza

Cephalopods making art you'll see; a mini-theme in this tour to some degree; Empty walls they beautify; Here, how many bubbles bob by?

16. After // 440 N Commerce Ave // E-N Computers

In shades of monochrome, a lady lies, gaze fixed ahead with quiet eyes. On the wall, a corporate grace, guess the name, it's a visual embrace.

17. Octopus // 440 N Commerce Ave // E-N Computers

Beneath the city's colorful sprawl, a purple cephalopod, spray cans in thrall. In his eight tentacles, a vibrant array, count the cans he wields, in the urban ballet.

18. The Chase // 430 N Commerce Ave

In a mural so grand, with colors that gleam, Tom and Jerry run, in a cartoonish dream. Count the eyes in the tree, where mischief may hide, how many peep out, on this colorful ride?

19. Luchbrador // 1010 E Main St // Basic City Beer Co.

In colors bold, a dog appears, masked wrestler, shedding playful cheers. Yellow, red, and purple unite, beside some small friends catch the light. Look closely, take a peep, adjacent companions, the answer is sweet.

20. Isabelle // 1010 E Main St // The Foundry

In hues of noir, a woman's allure. A bloom of yellow, a mystery to explore. Adjacent to flavors, where dishes shine, a restaurant named what, quite divine.
