There was a cache I found In Willimantic (En Passant, GC43X4Z) on a cold day with no one around in the park. That inspired the following log:
Wasn't planning on doing a Les Mis parody but, considering the immediate area of the cache today, this made sense. Thanks for the cache!
Here's the one cache that I did find
Yes, this log goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Everyone's got up and gone
Here they talked of maybe castling
Here it was they checked the king
Here they thought about some gambits
But the checkmate never came.
From the table in the corner
They could find a cache nearby
Muggles played while never knowing
I can see them now!
The very pawns that they gave up
Betrayed their strong position
On the chessboard where they played...
At dawn.
Oh my friends, my friends, I found it
Easier now that you've gone
Where it is, that can't be spoken
Your hunt must go on and on
Phantom voices in the wind blow
Phantom shadows on the greens
Empty chairs at empty tables
No more knights, bishops or queens
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
It's checkmate, you'll play no more...
