When I was on a road trip with my parents as a kid, we would squeal with delight when we came upon an advertisement by Burma Shave.
For those of you too young to remember, this shaving cream company advertised by placing phrases of a poem on little signs maybe a half mile apart.
You would have to pass 4 or 5 signs to get the whole message, and we all wanted to be the first one to read the next sign.
The poems usually dealt with shaving or driving.
To get more info on Burma Shave, just type that phrase into any search engine and you can get all the poems that were ever written by them.
Here's one of my favorites--
The safest rule
No ifs or buts
Just drive
Like everyone else
Is nuts!
Burma Shave
My salute to Burma Shave deals with driving and geocaching.
I will give you the first phrase of the poem. You must then go to 3 more waypoints. At each waypoint is a microcache with the next phrase of the poem, and the next waypoint to go to.
At the 4th and final waypoint is the final phrase of the poem and a tiny login book.
To get credit for this cache,you must email me the entire poem in a separate email and log into the book. Take your own pencil, please.
The first phrase of the poem is--- CAREFUL WHEN YOU DRIVE........
Now send me the rest of the poem. Have fun!
