Click hereI had some silly fun playing with this one, and while I am somewhat embarrassed by this regressive playtime, I can’t honestly disown it. So there. I wrote the numbers 0 to 10 and then tried to squeeze them into words (the way you see in vanity license plates). I got eleven numbers and eventually eleven words. 1 and 2 were very easy but 5 was quite hard.
If I had a niece at a certain age I would have dedicated this to her. Alas, she is now working on her PHD in Psychology, and I believe she would have been embarrassed by her crazy uncle...
See how many seconds it takes you to you to figure out all the words. Ready? Go!

There was a 7t
In E6 he lived I believe
For all other matters he was just B9
But strangely 10acious
In persisting to de5oltaire all day!
Intolerable 2you, Don Hu1 and to me
We became a 3age right out but
Just b4 the debate we suddenly knew
0summ game it must be
And easier to stop a fr8 train.
The rumour now has it that some1
Has opened an anti Voltairian cathedra in E6!

DawnJabout 16 years ago...but my 24 hours isn't up.
I got this one though! Hu1 = Juan, as in Don Juan!! Sheesh, I'm slow!!
"de5oltaire" and "3age" still mystify me.
I'll be back!!
DawnJabout 16 years agoJust the kind of thing to entice the Friday night mind of an exhausted English teacher. Let's see now...what have we here?
In no particular order, and not all done...
tenacious, before, awesome (?), freight, Essex, seventy, benign, someone...
I admit to being puzzled by "3age", "de5oltaire"(I kept thinking "desultory", but the word doesn't fit where you've put it!), and "Hu1". *sigh* Maybe tomorrow...
Did I mention that I loved this?
KOLKOREabout 16 years agoAuthorMy exact thoughts Swallowedscream...:) Sorry for any unintentional pain LeBROZ, I am not into it - just pure gamesmanship, or else you meant in the implied violence in the gamepoem itself? Which leads me to the deeper philosophical question by 1201 (always challenges the common wisdom), of what could be gained from such silly games. A very good question. I wish I had a convincing answer. But here are few guesses. First, it might be the sheer joy of being little silly for a little while. Second, never trust a poet (as if I was one...) like the deep ironic value imbedded in an anti Voltairian, himself being a savant (a “Candide” like character), which would make this guy a walking antinomy...Third we have not heard yet from any one Essex, maybe there is someone who fits this portfolio - stranger things happened...
Thank you all for your thoughtful comments to my silly poem.
swallowedscreamabout 16 years agowith a little silliness. :) Although not nice to have to figure things out on a sleepy brain Sunday! Should I admit 7t left me scratching my head for a moment? Ah well. So it goes. haha.
