0 plainglazed Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 afraid I've forgotten mine - sorry for the delayed response. fear we're veering off the established theme. think fabpig's #23 is still closest yet. do see the path from that answer to your latest, Wilson. just not the one needed. might be possible to work backwards from the final answer to get this one - not sure.

0 plainglazed Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 that is indeed a fine answer. fits both the direction established in posts #23 and #31 as well as the last 1/4 of the couplet as in post #34 (especially with the original version). so very close to the answer needed am ashamed to say you still need another. but you're right there. EDIT: in rereading post #23, it similarly fits the last 1/4 of the couplet as well - rats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
plainglazed
These multi-celled hosts hold the key to life's rejections
Puts them down for all to see, but can they make corrections?
A sixth sense's what i got, gives a good impression
Hard pressed to make the cut, or cease all expression
They're commonly portrayed in these parts its safe to say
As all they're meant to be in performing the same way
Packs quite a wallop, when one really sings
Motions to give the shaft, certain body rings
Often just for grins, on the subject they shed light
And I for example give support outright
A one time dodge, yet on target I should stay
Flits back and forth, then stunningly falls prey
Preserves and conserves, though hardly puts on the brakes
Gets in a tight spot, then fixes, their mistakes
In exchange for the seven solved, I offer this great deal
For those that still remain, giving thanks for certain we'll
