Happy Caching everyone!!

An ODE for the individual:

There once was a Geocacher named Lyle

Who travelled many a mile.

The goal in his mind

Was to be the ‘first to find’

So he turned over every rock in the pile.

 

He usually had a smile

That resembled Gomer Pyle.

But when the cache wasn’t there;

He thought it was unfair

And would mutter and swear for awhile.

 

But determined was Lyle

And back he would file

To check out Ground Zero

And become the caching hero

And walk away from the site in style.

 

So with his chest full of pride and guile

His GPS he would re-dial.

It is on to the next!

He would not be perplexed!

And his co-ordinates he would reconcile.

 

Lyle’s caching tricks are versatile

And he never becomes hostile

Whether it’s a tiny micro in a tree

Or a camo’d holder for a key . . .

Add another ‘smilie’ to his stats to compile!
