Current Goal

Alejandro the Rhyming Parrot

 

Alejandro was robbed as soon as he started;

He and his owner barely were parted.

That was many years ago now,

So you can easily see how

His mission will have changed,

With his life so rearranged.

 

His owner and Ciera are still good friends,

And so the hope is that this mission still ends,

In sweet Ciera’s hands,

Even though they’re in distant lands.

 

Ciera’s husband is stationed in Norfolk, Virginia

But not for long, so we don’t know where to send ya.

For now let’s move in that direction,

Until the navy makes an election.

 

So for now the destination is not quite the point,

It’s with a different message Alejandro I will anoint.

Most importantly, your log must be written in poetry,

 You cannot be intimidated nor compare yourself to me,

I know that my example is among the best you’ve ever read,

But believe me, you, too have it in your head.

 

You must tell me about the cache, about your day, about your life,

Tell me how you went geocaching with your wife,

But above all, you must write it in rhyme,

Come on now, I know you have the time.

 

Again, as a tl;dr - the mission of this parrot is to collect terrible, rhyming poetry until it reaches my friend Ciera, whose whereabouts are TBA.

 

 


Original Mission Below:

Alejandro thinks it would be sweet as a peach
to reach his friend Ciera in Imperial Beach.
But please take some time 
to make up a rhyme
before you send him on his way
to Imperial Beach, C-A.
Share your rhyme in the log
Oh, come on, don't be a dog!
You can't be embarrassed of your poetry
When I'm not so great, as you can see.
Just remember that Alejandro has to fly
so if you keep him, he, Ciera and I will cry.
And don't be a beast!
Rhyme a line or two, at least!


No, but seriously, I want this tag to travel to my friend Ciera in Imperial Beach, CA.   We also want you to rhyme about your experience finding Alejandro.  The more terrible the poetry, the better!  I especially like limericks! 

About This Item

Ciera and Julia have been friends 14 years
but the story of meeting won't bring you to tears,
they both worked the summer
in a place some thought was a bummer
But fortunately there were some beers.

Julia is by nature quite serious,
whereas Ciera is much more hilarious,
opposites are good,
and therefore we should
not find their friendship mysterious.

The girls share a love of travel.
In homemaking arts they might dabble
they like their men exotic
they try not to talk about politic
happy topics only they will babble.

Dropped Off 7/11/2021 FlyingTacoma placed it in Trail Adventure Rhode Island - 1,545.72 miles  Visit Log

While in Rhode Island on a trip
It was time for this bird to flip
He longed for fresh air and green
And these pretty woods we doth seen
We thought it would be a nice temporary home
Until someone came to help him roam
Please keep him safe and sound
On his journey all around

Retrieve It from a Cache 4/8/2021 FlyingTacoma retrieved it from Here's Looking at You, Kid! Texas   Visit Log

Out for a search with my wife
Oh what a wonderful life.
Found a cache deep in the woods
Filled with lots of neat goods.
This tracker was one of those
So it was the item we chose.
Excited to continue it’s trip
But probably not on a ship.
Hopefully you are enjoying this rhyme
We had a really good time.

(Found in a cache on a trail outside of Liberty Texas)
