The real trick to this cache is not really finding it so much as it is extracting it without being detected. It is in a very busy section of the park and stealth will be an absolute must!
Limerick poetry originated in England in the 18th century. A limerick is seen as witty and humorous, usually full of nonsense and containing some obscenity with humorous intent.
Limericks were popularized in the 19th century by Edward Lear and have become a staple of teenagers and drunken college parties everywhere. :-)
The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth usually rhyming with one another, the third and fourth rhyming with each other and containing almost a galloping beat.
The first line traditionally introduces a person and a place, with the place appearing at the end of the first line and establishing the rhyme scheme for the second and fifth lines. In early limericks, the last line was often essentially a repeat of the first line, although this is no longer customary.
Limericks are often frowned upon by the 'educated' elite because of their often low brow nature.
But Limericks are a fun part of poetry that absolutely everyone has experienced and repeated at one point or another.
You can sign the log sheets at the GZ as you normally would, but, as a PERSONAL REQUEST, I would like to ask for log submitters to offer up a Limerick of their own, in honor of the cache, keeping in mind that it must be of a family friendly variety. ;-)
Example:
Here’s a Regular Cache with an attitude
For those with grammatical fortitude
If you find the right words
Without being absurd
You’ll earn a large portion of gratitude.
(And the smilie!)
Example:
This man with a caching addiction,
Searched it out with a lot of conviction,
When he got to the log,
He got stuck in a bog,
Got the smiley and had a conniption!
Although it is optional to log the find as a Limerick, I would appreciate seeing the creativity of my fellow geocachers.
There's no room for anything other than the log sheets.
A certificate will be e-mailed for the first lucky person who makes the find.
