Geocache Description:

A cache based on a poem which I wrote, and so that is the reason for the name. There is eight verses.



Geocaching
On the computer, having some fun,
With my best mate, it has begun!
A quick look at the place, where I am hooked,
'ooooo' a cache, I better go look!

Get my GPS out, all in a scramble,
Preparing to go, on my weekly ramble.
Downloading complete, what have I forgotten?
Oh yes thats right, my fleece made of cotton.

I get out my bike, I hope no one's there!
This game; sport, is driving me to despair!
I slap on my helmet, tighten it up,
My neighbour calls, "Shup!"

I peddle franticly, down the street,
Pass the rappers, listen to that beat!
I climb up the hill, leading to the Downs,
Listening to; all those wonderful sounds.

As I approach my final destination, ground zero,
I see a freind, the nickname's 'CachingHero'
I hope he hasn't, found that treasure,
I was hoping to have, all the pleasure!

Up the tree, down the hole,
Under the log, watch out for that mole!
'You found the box?' "Not yet!"
'I hope I find it, or you'll regret!'

What's that there? Cache in sight?
The clue was good, it was on the right!
Signed the logbook, first to find!
Placed it back, right behind.

Now back home, to where I started.
Got a ride home in the car, 'cor who farted!'
Back on the computer, to sign the log,
That I found the cache called, 'The Top Dog!'
