Solve the puzzle within these words
Look east South east and you will find
The very prize you seek upon my death
No, I did not spend it all, it is buried deep
Yes, you have inheritance money, and lots of it
To find out how much, you must first locate it
Bring a shovel, a pair of boots, not your Sunday best
Need a hint, just remember how you treated me
You are allowed to ask for assistance from friends
That is if you have any, and be sure to tell them thank you.
Now I have given you the name of the location of the key
All you need to do is to find it within these words.
I hope you will enjoy me as much in my death
as you did during my life, please know that I loved you
no matter how harsh your words, how deliberate your actions
I always loved you, this final act of mine is my way of saying
when you spend your whole life shitting on those who love you
then one day you will find yourself standing knee deep in shit
Cursing the day you shit on a loved one...
Good luck finding the key to the safe deposit box!
Author notes
Sirbigmonkey was the first to figure it out, the key can be found in the septic tank, the letters of septic tank are the only letters within this entire poem which are in italics and they run east south east one letter per line diagonally across the poem.

What comes around goes around
You always find in end
What you want it is not shared
but comes from a deep bend
So enjoy your stinking wealth
if you should find the key
But for now enjoy yourself
and share a part of me

i think the key is in a septic tank in the back yard, you have to wear knee high boots made of rubber you will be knee deep in it.


good luck in the contest.

Hahahaha, I love your sense of humor sis. So where did you hide the key? Probably someplace you least expect it.
