The first half is musical poetry, fast rhymes and hard lines, spitting out words like dope fire. The second half is a parking lot, for boats and yachts. Put them together and you get one word. One word is enough to build this or burn it.

Should you have it down to a T, then I guess you have no need for me. If an unsolvable riddle comes your way, that's when my help comes into play. It costs you nothing to unlock me. If you know the answer then leave me be!

One of my meanings is a long winding TALE, full of adventure, like the Knights and the Grail. Or picture a TAIL - a string, thin or fat, wound into a ball and beloved by cats.

I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish. What am I?

You raise me one, I raise the stakes; a challenge born from what it takes. The fool withholds me, feeling shame; while a score of me can make your game. What unlocks wisdom is full of neglect; I am the thing you'll least -or most- expect.
