Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

So who demolished this strawberry punnet?
It sounds like a Sherlock Holmes whodunnit
Even the platters of mangoes are history
It sounds to me like The Great Fruit Mystery

Look On The Bright Side

The Answer To Yesterday's Mytery Photograph

Yesterday, in the post Here Comes The Bright, I asked if you
could identify the mystery object in the two photographs. Well, the good news is that you are all fully-fledged members of the Sherlock Holmes Budding Detectives Club because everyone seemed to have worked it out. The brightly coloured is a child's toy, a mini "bungee jumper". Look carefully at the horizontal picture and you'll see some of the words on the purple area. How does it work? The feet go either side of the cord. The cord then pulls up with the handle and it works like a flat-bottom pogo stick!These toys are probably eight or ten 10 years old.

That's Not Defective, Detective

Take a good look at these images. Any idea what I've photographed? It's not a bumble bee. It's not a flying purple people eater. It's not electric cables. Put on your Sherlock Holmes hat and leave me a comment with your theory/ theories ....

The Symbol Was Indeed A Cymbal

And A Blessed Thanksgiving To Everyone

Yesterday in the post Circles Crop for Wordless Wednesday, I asked if you could identify the object in the photograph and I must say that just about all of you have earned your Sherlock Holmes badges with your answers. Yes, it was a cymbal. Yes, the word ``symbolic'' in the headline was a clue. I had some great responses, so it's something I might do again in a couple of weeks.

I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving. And for those of us who do not live in America and do not celebrate this very meaningful day, let's all give thanks anyway. For life. For family. For friendship. For each other.
