Since I received positive feedback on my Halifax Literary Trilogy
(So
the Story Begins..., So
the Story Goes..., and Hark!
I Hear a Haiku!), I decided to do another literary trilogy
as part of the Quick Exit series.
Geo-Nursery Rhymes
We all learned nursery rhymes as children. But the fact is, they
are getting terribly outdated. Who knows what a tuffet is anymore?
And just try to get a child these days to sit on one eating curds
and whey! The lessons they once taught are getting lost in
translation. It’s time we update these rhymes so they teach
children about the modern things of importance… like
geocaching!
For example, what if Jack and Jill were geocachers? Then their
verse might go something more like:
Jack and Jill went up the hill
With their geocaching wares.
They thought they were in time
To be First to Find
But Red Fox Raiders had already been there.
This cache is a trading cache, but what you'll be trading is
your literary skill. To claim a cache find you must leave in your
log entry a nursery rhyme altered to have a geocaching theme. Make
sure you retain enough of the original nursery rhyme that people
can tell which one it is, and if possible choose a rhyme no one has
done yet. Be creative, please keep it G rated (these are kid’s
rhymes after all), and have fun!
