Overheard at the Pub

^^^^^

now i counted the lines

67

this would be too easy

another red herring, i thought

so i looked to the spacing and punctuation between the words and lines

a pattern emerged

positive lines and negative lines

+ -

on off

i labeled each line as such based on the punctuation

and counted the amount of times each letter appeared in each line

 

it was clear this was not a question, but a statement

study the word "puzzle"

it was making a statement in numbers

but how to get to the numbers?

how do you transfer a letter into a number
without a cipher?

wouldn't it make sense if the letters corresponded to their natural values in such a case then?

a is 1
b is 2
...and so on

 

"always be first to be second"

what does that mean?

sometimes the best place to mine for gold is at a site where someone already mined unsuccessfully

haven given up

only to left two inches from the gold

when solving a puzzle, first define the word, and then let others fail preemptively

ok...... now that the red herrings are exposed, i know where to begin looking

answering questions that aren't questions?

no

projecting what i wish the answer to be onto the blank space in front of me?

no

 

ok, ya lazy bums, are you ready?

it is pi day after all
lol

Melodrama

 

please don't have nightcrows

 

If a =1 then does b=2?
Is this a full or just a half clue?
Are vowels included in the set?
Or does the clock strike ? and get reset?

 

To join the fun I will fire the start gun a=1
And that's how they run...

 

I suspect there is an infinite number,
and no I don't know them all,
maybe you do,
and by leaning into that mean,
I, could learn a thing or
one.
or none or none

but the math is fun

 

For a man with a thirst for knowledge,
There isn't a school or college,
He turns over the same old stone
Again makes the same mistakes
What should he do?
As a man with a thirst for knowledge?

 

I ...have to confess I am ,
a billion years off the mark,
But I think, and I try....

 

Fame is the last thing from my mind,
I am sure you are inclined , to be weak of mind
And furthest from my ambition,
But you always make the same decision
I am just trying hard to find,
In the box or in
the meaning of the tradition.
There is treating a man with your condition .

 

Fame is the last thing from my mind,
And furthest from my ambition,
I am just trying hard to find,
the meaning of the tradition.

 

You have been scribbling long enough..

 

Dale, your turn....

 

I can't take a Turing test

 

Then take comfort in the thought, that,

I must have prepared it, but I didn't,
You know I didn't.
Lol

 

Then look at the time

 

Now add them up

 

Lol



Your playing a game to achieve glamour and fame,
With only the toys of your father,
look down within , For original sin,
The mean will provide some sort of answer

 

The gibbon that plays wiv a tiger...
Will never live to grow wiser.
Put down your sword , before you get mauled...
Your turn for some fertiliser.

 

So now we start the clock, as if to measure our cock...
Don't look down with your definite frown ,
Your only a sweaty sock.


Seven six nine twelvety six

 

No, I just used your number as an example, it could have been any number.

I am playing with code 4 2
To make numbers alive 2 4
a little odd, my mode 4 2
but I, must try to strive 2 4

No, that was just an example of pattern. I clarified a bit more, with what I am trying to say.

 

So, you counted the lines and say my forwards and backwards number

 

Each line has a natural flow of numbers to it based on phonemic sounds.

These numbers are expressed in harmony with the preceding line or in a pattern that relates to other parts of the text.

Like in poetry...
It is easy to do, if you try it for yourself 67
so do not worry at all, it is all just a joke 76
and there is nothing to lose except maybe yourself 67
another trick to catch minds, of ordinary folk 7 6

The pattern can emphasis , correlate , turn, diminish or manipulate meaning.

An example might be like a stylistic device in rhetoric:
" I have a dream"
