Geocache Description:

THE CACHE ISN'T AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!

"The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Many people know of the poem you can read, just above. The puzzle to find the cache is simple: Figure out the values of "A", "B", and "C". You'll have to use the spoof of the ant poem. I left out the part in between every three/four lines (..."The little one stops to suck his thumb...), but that won't change anything.
