Dash it all!

Here is a log I wrote for some pre-schoolers for a cache in Hartford known as Skittles' Treasure.

I am Dash

I am Dash
Dash I am

That Dash-I-am
That Dash-I-am!
I do not like
that Dash-I-am

Do you like to go and cache?

I do not like it,
Dash-I-am.
I do not like to go and cache.

Would you go cache here or there?

I would not go cache here or there.
I would not go cache anywhere.
I do not like to go and cache.
I don’t go caching, Dash-I-am

Would you go cache in a house?
Would you go cache with a mouse?

I don’t go caching in a house.
I don’t go caching with a mouse.
I don’t go caching here or there.
I don’t go caching anywhere.
I do not like to go and cache.
I don’t go caching, Dash-I-am.


Would you find one in a box?
Would you find one near a fox?

Not in a box.
Not near a fox.
Not in a house.
Not with a mouse.
I would not go cache here or there.
I would not go cache anywhere.
I would not like to go and cache.
I don’t go caching, Dash-I-am.

Would you? Could you? in a car?
Caches! Caches! 
Here they are.

I would not, could not, in a car

You may have fun.
You will see.
You may find one in a tree?
I would not, could not in a tree.
Not in a car! You let me be.

I don’t go caching in a box.
I don’t go caching with a fox
I don’t go caching in a house
I don’t go caching with a mouse
I don’t go caching here or there.
I don’t go caching anywhere.
I do not like to go and cache.
I don’t go caching, Dash-I-am.

A train! A train!
A train! A train!
Could you, would you on a train?

Not on a train! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! Dash! Let me be!
I would not, could not, in a box.
I could not, would not, with a fox.
I will not go cache with a mouse
I will not go cache in a house.
I will not go cache here or there.
I will not go cache anywhere.
I do not like to go and cache.
I don’t go caching, Dash-I-am.


Say!
In the dark?
Here in the dark!
Would you, could you, in the dark?

I would not, could not, in the dark.

Would you, could you, in the rain?

I would not, could not, in the rain.
Not in the dark. Not on a train,
Not in a car, Not in a tree.
I don’t go caching, Dash, you see.
Not in a house. Not in a box.
Not with a mouse. Not with a fox.
I will not go cache here or there.
I don’t go caching anywhere!

You do not like to go and cache?

I don’t go caching, Dash-I-am.

Could you, would you, with a goat?

I would not, could not. with a goat!

Would you, could you, on a boat?

I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.
I will not go cache in the rain.
I will not go cache on a train.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! You let me be!
I don’t go caching in a box.
I don’t go caching with a fox.
I will not go cache in a house.
I don’t go caching with a mouse.
I don’t go caching here or there.
I don’t go caching ANYWHERE!

I do not like to go and cache!

I don’t go caching, Dash-I-am.

You don’t go caching. SO you say.
Try it! Try it! And you may.
Try it and you may I say.

Dash!
If you will let me be,
I will try it, You will see.

Say!
I like to geocache!
I do!! I’ll go cache, Dash-I-am!
And I would go cache from a boat!
And I would go cache with a goat...
And I will go cache in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so cool, so cool you see!

So I will find one in a box.
And I will find one near a fox.
And I will find one near a house.
And I will find one near a mouse.
And I will go cache here and there.
Say! I will go cache ANYWHERE!

I do so like to geocache!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Dash-I-am!
