Riddle of the Week

This Week's Riddle

Let's take a trip, not on a ship

Through many states, decreed by fates

If you want, start in Vermont

Get utility for a small fee.

Take a short stride to get a ride

Then perhaps you'll be in Tennessee

Get some joy in Illinois

With the threat of getting wet

Or doing time, e'en with no crime

Stay out of debt and you'll be set.

Perhaps it's best to miss the chest

Even though it's hard to know

Take a stance or take a chance

First you throw and then you go.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
