+wildlifewriter Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 (To the tune of a well-known American folk song) I took my girlfriend shopping - with a cache along the way, The only one I haven't logged: GC5EFA. It's cold, dark and misty, And it's getting hard to see, But we'll find it with an OS map And the e-Trex on my knee. We headed for the area – which I didn't really know, Last junction on the motorway, and forty miles to go... A quick stop for petrol, (Joanna had to pee) Then we're off to Ballygarmin With my e-Trex on my knee. My datum was inaccurate, my batteries were lame, Joanne was very angry - and the farmer was the same. Two loads of buckshot, And a trip to A&E, Now I'm waiting on a trolley with my e-Trex on my knee. (Refrain) Oh, Joanna! Don't you cry for me, Just blame it on the cachein' And the e-Trex on my knee.

+Haggis Hunter Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 When he said 'Banjo', did anyone else think of this particular gentleman... Yep, everytime I see an old shack and anyone mention a Banjo I think of that and a pig squealing It's a good rhyme though.
+wildlifewriter Posted September 22, 2004 Author Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) ...and another one... To the tune of "Galway Bay" If you ever go across the sea to Ireland For a little bit of cacheing on the way, You can see the coaches parked in rows at Claddagh, And watch the Yanks go down by Galway Bay. There are caches that were hidden here by tourists. Sure, they didn't have the way of it at all: The co-ordinates are near the Falkland Islands Which are seven thousand miles from Donegal. Now the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways, They gave us grants from Brussels on the nod. Now we've motorways that finish up in nowhere, And the airport up at Knock belongs to God. Maybe someday I'll go back again to Ireland, Well, maybe to avoid my Income Tax. I could buy a little castle next to Bono's, And communicate by e-mail and by fax. ©2004 Wildlifwriter International Media Plc. Edited September 22, 2004 by wildlifewriter
Prairie Jeepin Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 (edited) Ghost riders in the sky with new lyrics.... A wee bit older than that I'm afraid. Try "Oh Suzanna" 1850's or so. Popular in the Civil War and Old West days if memory serves me. At least that's what it seemed to follow to my ears. Edited September 23, 2004 by Prairie Jeepin
