+Glory Seeker Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 :huh:I'm wondering if I'm the only cacher out there who couldn't resist writing some silly/serious verse about my new hobby/obsession. I've been looking for an appropriate place to share, since my local caching buddies have been encouraging me to go public with this silliness. Anyone else who'd like to 'publish' (clean verse only please) is welcome. Generous and kind reviews are encouraged. I wrote this after another of a series of Monday (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) mornings coming into work with new adventures to report and new injuries to display. Weekend Report I walked into work this Monday morn Bandaged and bruised, my skin was all torn. My co-workers said, "What has happened to you?' We had a great weekend, but what did you do?' "I went geocaching," was my reply "And a low-hanging branch gave me this black eye. I tripped on a root and bumped into a tree, Stuck my stick in a hole that was all full of bees." "I got nettle-stung reaching under a fern, Forgot my sunblock and got a sunburn. I bruised both my legs when I fell climbing rocks I got dirt in my shoes and burrs in my socks" They all looked dismayed, but nobody spoke, As I showed them the rash from the poison oak. And how all up and down my legs and my arms Were mosquito bites and scratches from thorns. After seeing my wounds, my co-workers said, "You shouldn't be here, you should be home in bed!" "We'll bet you won't want to go do that again!" But I hunted for twelve, and I only found ten. So right after work, I'll be out there once more, Looking out for those two and at least one or two more. ----Glory Seeker (It's not so much the big injuries, it's all the little ones added together. I haven't actually suffered every discomfort mentioned here, but would be embarrassed to admit how many I have experienced or come close to. Nothing that would keep me from going out again! ) Link to comment
