0 Shakeepuddn Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 No to all. This one was a little rushed and I'm not that satisfied with lines five and six. Maybe this revision will help: 5: A bar on a cage to entrap the beast, 6: A crooked stick to keep the beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 but incorrect 'Ring' fit for these lines: Joined with shipmates I conjure fear, (bell ringing) Hidden to date, sure to appear. (engagement ring...hidden to his date, but sure to appear ) A bar on a cage to entrap the beast. (ring to chain an animal too) Hours in a day, I and my brothers. (clock tower rings) But I had no idea what it would have meant for the others. Oh well...back to the puzzle. This is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Shakeepuddn
I'm a joke to some, considered least
With me they come to a summer feast.
Joined with shipmates I conjure fear,
Hidden to date, sure to appear.
A single stake to ensnare the beast,
An attentive guard for a jewel out of reach.
Taken from one to frame another
Hours in a day, I and my brothers.
