McBaine (Not Kennard)
Sung to the tune of Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

McBaine Mo was once Kennard Mo
Now it's McBaine Mo, not Kennard Mo
Been a long time gone, that Kennard Mo
Now a bicycle trail, no longer train rail

Every crop, in Kennard Mo
Grows in McBaine Mo, not Kennard Mo
So if you've a plow, in Kennard Mo
It'll be sowing in McBaine Mo
Even Columbia was once platted Smithton
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back, to Kennard Mo
No, you can't go back, to Kennard Mo
Been a long time gone, that Kennard Mo
Why did Kennard Mo get the burner?
Must've been that mean ol' Mister Turner


ABDF
PERCHE
CREEK

The posted coordinates for this geocache are on a bridge over Perche Creek leading into Kenna-, er, McBaine, Missouri. There are four numbers easily visible on the west side of the bridge followed by the words "Perche Creek". A, B, D and F represent the aforementioned numerals in order. Using these, calculate the following:

X = A - 1 | Y = B - 2 | Z = D - F

Add X.AXY to the north and 0.AZB to the west posted coordinates. Stealth may be required at the final location. Please be discreet to keep this hide active!
