More likely something Maggie would be familiar with.

It is not directions nor a password.

Poe, did not to my knowledge at least, consort with pirates.

Still trying to work Edward Teach into the poem................

Penny for your thoughts, GT....

oooh, more points and no klaxon?! This calls for celebration!
anyone?
Thanks, Toybox.

Err, how does that mnemonic work, though?

A mnemonic is an aid to memory so is it a way to remember a long list of something?

Maybe the first letters of each word?

I've tried counting the letters in each word, but it doesn't seem to make much sense...

I am ruthless but fair. Only the obvious have anything to fear from me.

A very long list DGI +1

See me and show me your working.

So, does each word stand for one of the items of the list? That would make it, what... 40 items?

I was thinking US states, but I don't think it is, because there are more than that. Repeat : I don't think it is. (just in case that's deemed obvious ).

Or elements from the periodic table? The link with pirates would be gold being an element...

>So, does each word stand for one of the items of the list?<

Yes


Not US states or Periodic Elements.


The link to the pirates is thematic to help solve the riddle, not an actual direct link.

From several clues:
Is it mathematical stuff?

Yup.

Are we looking for a list of numbers?

we are...

I am really uselass with maths... Is it Pi?

It is Pi.

I was just waiting for someone to say it, though Stunning Frenchie already has the points, I'll be gracious and let you share them too.

Silvernalot +3

I'll get to writing up the explanation - and that confounded link to pirates that so befuddled you all.

Thank you, but she deserves them, I was just guessing.
