The fateful decision was made this morning But this day did not arrive without warning For quite some time we've been growing together But apparently our relationship is just fair-weather Your strange mentality of less being more Has led to your own members having fallen to the floor An amputation without anesthetic For you seems to be copacetic What am I?  |

Answer a haircut lines 1-2: The decision to have a haircut was made in the morning. This day was predictable, as your hair could be seen getting longer each day. lines 3-4: Your hair has been growing, and you have being growing older with it. But then you "callously" decided to cut it, making your relationship "fair-weather". lines 5-6: In this case, "less being more" means that having a haircut is better than not having one. The phrase "your own members having fallen to the floor" refers to your hair being cut i.e. during a haircut your hair falls to the floor. lines 7-8: "An amputation without anesthetic" refers to a haircut.

In each sentence a word is concealed, such as the word no in sentence five. If you can find the buried words and read them in order from 1 to 6, they will form a well-known proverb. 1.The word buried here has only one letter. 2.Did you find a jelly roll in Gaskin's Bakery? 3.It's the best one I've ever seen. 4.The rug at her stairway was made in India. 5.He's an old friend. 6.Amos sold his bicycle to a friend.  |

In Flanders fields, where once was blood, From battles for so few yards of mud, I woke from such slumber deep, And mocked the blood the havoc wreaked. But now I show our future hope, And enable veterans to cope, By provoking memories of blood, Before new battlefields can flood. What am I?  |

A poppy.
|

Post by Kimmy on Aug 6, 2020 6:36:56 GMT
Answer The poppy. The poppy became a symbol of remembrance for the victims of war. This is due to the war poem 'In Flanders Fields', written in 1915 by John McCrae, a Canadian military physician, (the title of which is mentioned in the first line of the teaser). Poppy seeds can lay dormant, deep in the soil for hundreds of years, but the violent shelling, on the Western Front during the First World War, would have unearthed them. This led to the blood and bodies being watched over by tall red flowers, dancing in the wind. The artificial poppies sold today, to raise money for war veterans, were the idea of Madame Guerin, a Frenchwoman, mentioned in the title. Other colours of poppy are now sold as well as the original red, normally as a statement of peaceful resolution to conflict. However, it is predominantly Madame Guerin's poppy seen across much of the World and in military cemeteries.

Fill in the words that are empty by using words that will connect with the previous one. EXAMPLE: Towel, Rack. (You have the words Towel and Rack, but when put together it becomes "Towel rack".) Try to connect petting to guard. Petting Z_ _ A_ _ _ _ _ C_ _ _ _ _ _ _ Guard  |
