RHYME TIME #4 - Oceanside, CA The tree seems to be a Myoporum, or Mousehole tree (according to the Senior Sleuths and their nursery.) ============================================= Catching a cold: I feel I may be getting old, I could not find Lorenzo's Gold. I'm not putting my cards down to fold, I guess I'm just catching a cold. -- kawikaturn -------------- Finding a cache: Found this cache with a little bit of luck. Left a travel bug, S.D. Psyduck. This one is Psyduck number two; He's part of a pair, I thought you knew. He's in a race with number one, To travel farthest in their caching fun. I've moved him, oh, about 40 mi. It's not far, but it's a good try. I've found him a cache he'll think is terrific, Next to the river and near the Pacific. For he's a duck, a bird aquatic. If not near water he'll go psychotic. So now I've left him near the water, and done exactly what I oughter. -- the_irving ------------- Stargazing by the ocean's shore: Sitting on the ocean's shore And watching half-silvered waves touch the sand Beyond the tidal trace, I look upwards and search out Aldebaran From Orion's horizontal band. The Hyades point and race Like celestial chargers to the red star. Sirius, for all his brightness Can not, in its lonely path, Rival her attraction. Where is Antares to vaunt his redness? He is destroyed by the sun god's wrath. -- Parsa --------------- Pounding Nails: Hammering a nail In the old wooden pail Caused me much pain As my arm is so frail -- RUSCAL -------------- Ode to Rhyme Time Geocaching: I made a trip after work This was certainly a perk. Wish I’d worn my jacket of leather The harbor was having a little bad weather. It was cold and overcast Sure hope it doesn’t last. Took the Psycho-Duck That was great luck. I am sure you’ve been told That leprechauns are known for pots of gold. I should have left a coin from that crock Or maybe even a shamrock. But all I left was this rhyme Hope that will be just fine! -- Leprechaun ------------- Getting a Ticket: When I drive it usually isn't 55. I know Sammy wrote this line, but it's true, Most of the people that drive in SoCal don't have a clue. When I get pulled over I look at the cop in disgust, The ticket he is about to write me, he says is a must. But don't expect that to slow me down, Especially when I'm splittin' lanes all around town. -- Team NOB --------------- ???: M is rather quick If you ask her to pick A favorite book, the last one read, you see - Julian May's 'Horses how they came to be' and now it is easy to see why we are headed to the library! -- Blind Luck Gang --------------- Sneezing: Sneezes Come in Threeses When hiking, I have found that sneezes, Always come in groups of threeses. The exception to the rule of course is That my son's sneezes come in fourses. So we got the surprise of our liveses, When we heard a hiker sneeze in fiveses. -- reno --------------- Baseball: B aseball is the sport i love A lways remember to bring a glove S itting in your seat is fun E ating hot dogs in great big buns B e sure to cheer really loud A nd during the anthem stand up proud L ines of white they look so bright L ove the PADRES with all my might -- padregirl --------------- I picked topic eighty-five For my little poem It's a wonder I'm still alive Due to my unsafe roam This paper is titled Doing a dumb thing Glad it's a poem I have to write And not stand up and sing Years ago when I was young I had an accident Could have lost a lung Motorcycle I wrecked, it ended up bent Tooling along at unsafe speeds On dirt trails near this harbor Zooming crazily past clumps of reeds Passed a group of kids on their larboard I'll show those kids I had the vain hubric thought Seconds fore the skids Curse those thrills that I sought The kids, they yelled That guys dead! He must not know Of the pit ahead The kids were right I braked too late Sailed off a jump into the night Would death's embrace be my fate? The kids were disappointed The maniac didn't expire Dead bodies are great Better than a three alarm fire! For weeks afterward I walked with a limp Not the last time in my life I be labeled a gimp Bike was all busted, my mom was all worry Sadly I'd do it again, I'm just too damn nervy! -- yrium ---------------- BASEBALL: Rhyming about baseball seems so fine, As we watch the ball go flying down the line. We're watching the players looking so good, Would take them home, if I could. Hitting the balls and running the bases, Brings lots of smiles to many faces. Spring training is near, As we are standing here. We are headed to Peoria, To watch the Padres take all the gloria. The Padre fans keep their fingers crossed, That this is the season that won't be lost! -- Pedroz & Cyndyz --------------- Snoring: It's raining It's pouring Splashman is snoring I'm awake Just can't sleep Can't count enuf sheep I'm not afraido To stuff a tomato Or a potato For some silencio!!!! -- splashman -------------- Geocaching: My favorite hobby is geocaching, I'm looking for a couple places for stashing, a first real cache of my own. I have turned over many a stone, but so far have been out trashing. A travel bug couldn't be slicker, than the one in my hand called Clicker. I'm leaving him here; folks with kids who live near, can get him to Legoland quicker! -- Dave_W6DPS -------------- Cloud Shapes: This is the best I can do as I am new to this regaramoo! Clouds have shapes That are Innate Mostly to animal shapes. -- J&J INC. ---------------- Solving a Crime: The only offense is not making it rhyme. My son made up a poem about punching a mime. But my thought was that this is not really a crime.

Hate to say it, but baseball is a bummer. Baseball in the Fall I hate this game with a log and a ball. I love Winter. -- corysmom and cory85 ----------------- Leaves: The leaves on the trees breathe and they move so silently and filled with light they move like waves so out of sight twinkling like the stars of eves'. -- SlabyFam ----------------- Geocaching: Geocaching is such a great sport, especially if you are the treasure-hunting sort. Looking before or after work is ok for Floyd, but the truly successful are the unemployed. -- GeoJim1 ----------------- Travel: Palm Desert is our home, But in our RV we roam, Travel here, travel there, We bring our home everywhere! -- stonyagers ----------------- Elephants: We took an elephant to the beach one day, We brought him loads and loads of hay, In the waves he loved to play, His surfing skills improved each day But we soon learned to GET OUT OF HIS WAY! -- Lucky Kid & Proud Parents ----------------- This Cache: fkrexcal and I tried to find this cache, But we couldn't find anything but a junkies stash. We logged it as a no find, But later it was changed to the virtual kind -- Rocket Man ----------------- That Tree: Whats in that tree Was it a cache bee. Was I on time or did I lose a dime. -- pjh ----------------- Cache Counts: We hunt caches we have a large amount but it's the terrain that's important not the count! -- ventura_kids ----------------- The Tree: Off to find the tree But where could it be?

There is no sign with the name, For my eyes to see! -- Camel680 ---------------- Botany: I think that I shall never see a geocacher who knows their trees. If only we had studied more our botany knowledge wouldn't be so poor. -- Fyre Dawg --------------- On Vacation: We came from Oregon where we get lots of rain To Oceanside California where the weather is not the same. I hear sometimes it's hot and sometimes it "quakey" I hope while we're here it's not to shakey. -- LSwandering --------------- The Tree: We love to go caching far and wide This weekend we chose Oceanside We encountered a tree What kind could it be? We have no idea, but we tried! -- HitsMan and Chris --------------- Driving I-5: While driving I-5, I stopped at Oceanside Harbor Hoping I'd be able to identify the arbor Like everyone else here, I wound up without a clue Still, during my business trip here this was a cool thing to do -- drat19 -------------------- The Tree: This tree is growing in our yard, So knowing it's name should not be hard. We looked at each other to get it's name, But our answers were not the same. I said it was this and he said it was that, It almost caused a little spat. So we check with those who should really know, And finally I could say "I told you so". -- The Senior Sleuths -------------------- The Tree: Well son, what can it be? What the heck is this kind of tree? Hey Dad, let's ask that surfer dude! No son, I doubt he is in the mood. Well son, we found the right spot! We'll just have to take a small piece and ask around a lot... -- TrailGators --------------------- The Tree: I went looking for a cache Ya..sure ya betcha! I then saw the ex-stash..

Now I'm there, I only stare, My mind's completely bare. I'd tell you the name of the plant, But I can't. -- Grampa42 ---------------------- A Rhyme: Caching is fun, Caching is fine. Someone should put, some cash into mine. -- dewit ------------------------ Verifying the Cache Find: There once was a cache that was plundered 'neath a tree, what kind? We all wondered Replaced by a virt. For what it's worth It counts as a find if at least two lines rhyme -- fjbii ------------------------- The Tree: A true poet, I am not, But I'll give this a shot.

We found the right parking lot, And out of the car we got, A tree we did see, But what kind could it be? We pondered this question a lot! That's the tale of this geocaching trio, A Pisces, a Virgo, a Leo, We went to the spot, But treasure there was not, Thanks for the virtual cache mi amigo! -- Autumn's Geo Trio -------------------------------- Caching: Sunflowers are fun, caching is fun, now let's go cache, in the sun. -- Cache Busters --------------------------------- What is that tree? On a cool afternoon in January, I set off in Oceanside a virtual cache to see. At ground zero was a tree. The owner said, "Name that tree." It's common name escapees me, It was neither pine, oak or hicory. It's been many years since my study of botany, So the genus and phylum my mind did flee. To the owner a picture I sent Just to prove my good intent. -- longwalker -------------------------------- Mailman & Trees: Out for some lunch, my honey and me. My GPS beeps, there's a cache under that tree. The cache page stated, a virtual I'd see. It's also asked me, to name the type of tree. An arborist I'm not, it's all green to me. So I stood here a snapped, this picture of me. -- Boomer and his Cache Bandits --------------------------------- The Tree: We went in search of a virtual tree My lovely wife (Aqua Mom) and me But the type of the tree That was the question Birch or Elm it could be Aw shucks, we're just guessing So we took a picture so you could see We really visited the virtual tree -- Team Aqua ---------------------------------- In Search Of A Tree: Went in search of a tree We know quite a few Knew right away it isn't A palm a spruce or a yew Whatever it is we haven't a clue. -- GRNZOOM ---------------------------------- Naming the Tree: I usually can name Every plant that I see But I have to admit That I'm "stumped" by this tree.

Dave So fellow cachers, in the field If you're spotters guidebook fails to yield The correct name for fauna or flora Remember: males are Dave and females Norah -- The Bolas Heathens -------------------------------------------- Rhyme Time 4: On this fine day A walk I did take Strolling along a river or lake On the edge of the path there stood something we both agree Maybe one but not two or three A plant of sorts, wet from a bath a bush or shrub, alive to me Could something growing this be be a tree? On the spot I stood pondering my fate The tracks ahead would be easy to pass but should I continue to proceed or simply wait there is something here of which I must note but "what is it?" I slowly wrote The mistake I made as I had crossed the lot was to commit to memory a necessary detail I fear I am to old and forget a lot The distractions of the tracks made my mind derail Please forgive my missing detail, but I did not exactly write the type of tree. Actually, I am not sure there was a tree. Was my old mind playing tricks on me? My cache logs clearly show, I was there and there I go, back across the log too slow for I was stay at the nearby condo -- CC -------------------------------------------- Untitled: The morning walk, using my feet seeking something hot to drink I found a place coffee I think a great place to buy a treat I am now happy and full This I can say is no bull!

See Lucy dash. -- lucyandrickie ---------------------------------------- Untitled: Visiting here from the far right coast, Pursuing the vice that absorbs me most, I looked to the west t'ward the threat'ning rain And considered how to avoid the pain Of walking wet back to my room, A shivering, quivering, mis'rable doom Perhaps if I run, I'll make it. What is the name of this lonely tree That sits here damply mocking me? I'm flora-challenged this part of the land. Sad the tree's no nice name-band Here on the berm 'tween lot and track. I'll look it up if I get back. 'Til then I'll have to fake it. But wait! A double arc spans the sky Reminding us that we won't die Because of a flood o'er all the earth, Though a thousand years 'twixt death and birth SoCal is safe from ruin that way So do not fear rain day by day 'Tis fire or fault will take it. -- smarple ---------------------------------------- Untitled: I am a girl from the piney hills of Louisiana.
