This final hint I give before I depart, Because you are both close to my heart. Living in the ocean is a real test, That is one part, and this is the rest. To figure this out you must be clever. But, even if you are it might be never.
Noe, Noe, your answer has no scrupples. You must also become a pupil. Pay close attention to the whatzit hints, That tell of these and where they went.
So comical these guesses and strange notions! Where could you take a test in the ocean? I keep saying these hints are the keys. If you take the test, you will also take these.
That last clue was best by far I now think this is a star The kind that lives in the sea and is also a type of "fish" we see. For those looking for definition: the hard, protective shell or covering of certain invertebrates, as echinoderms or tunicates (starfish)
Whatzit tests are not for the feint of heart. Sometimes you work to do your part. To pass this little test of mine. You'll certainly have to have a spine.
Aha - not stars at all a close relative for where it falls Sea Urchin Spines I can atest I should have known these best Ashamed to say I am a diver and these hadn't crossed my mind either!
Surely there is out there, now. A shooter who will soon avow, To what these little whatzits are. This can't continue to go on very far. My fingers are getting bruises and dents, From typing all of these wonderful hints.
J9, the diver, wins the marathon. I'm very sorry this can't go on . I hope this has been an educational game. If not it's been fun, just the same. Google urchins, tests and spines. To see these beauties, all, divine. The whatzits spines were in my drawer. But, look them up, and you'll see more.
J9, keep you answered as I was typing. So don't go ventilating and hyping! You clicked your comment before I clicked mine. I knew it was only a matter of time. Without you here to keep me strait, This whatzit game would not be great.
I dont know but they look nasty! =)
ReplyDeleteCan you hear my agonizing moans,
ReplyDeleteTo think that you would call them stones.
Another guess, you must consider
If you're to be a homerun hitter.
Bats???
ReplyDeleteI agree with Noe Noe - they DO look nasty! I am going to guess they are earthworms!
ReplyDeleteIt cannot be earthworm.
ReplyDeleteEarthworms slither and squirm.
It is not a baseball bat,
ReplyDeletenor, is it something left from a rat.
Cigars!
ReplyDeleteThey look shiny and polished
ReplyDeleteEach encircled with bars
Perhaps Noe Noe is right
In assuming cigars.
Can they be eaten
Or are they for show?
My next guess is sausage -
Let's give that a go!
They cannot be eaten and cannot be smoked.
ReplyDeleteMy giving of hints will, now, be invoked.
To find them, if I had the notion,
I might, possibly, look in the ocean.
I must now go to earn a living.
ReplyDeleteLater today, more hints I'll be giving.
You may just figure it out.
You two are a team. There is no doubt.
Sea shells!
ReplyDeleteNoe Noe stole my answer! AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteAudrey~they still look nasty! =)
ReplyDeleteSea Shells? No,no,
ReplyDeleteAudrey and Noe Noe.
This final hint I give before I depart,
ReplyDeleteBecause you are both close to my heart.
Living in the ocean is a real test,
That is one part, and this is the rest.
To figure this out you must be clever.
But, even if you are it might be never.
Oh! And by the way,
ReplyDeleteWhat did the post of this whatzit say!
"Please post an answer on my blog.
It's neither a SEA SHELL nor a frog."
OK I say...it's coral!
ReplyDeleteOK now I throw my hat into the ring
ReplyDeletei will guess that this thing
it a seed pod of the mangrove
I've seen them floating all over the cove
Our day's complete! J9's here!
ReplyDeleteBut, you are also wrong, my dear.
If you want to be the very best,
You must study for the test.
Noe, Noe, your answer has no scrupples.
ReplyDeleteYou must also become a pupil.
Pay close attention to the whatzit hints,
That tell of these and where they went.
eels! I am an awful pupil.
ReplyDeleteI'll try again at this whatzit of ills
ReplyDeleteis it swordfish bills?
A clown fish?
ReplyDeleteIs it some sort of fishing tackle/bait??
ReplyDeleteIs a marker of some kind!
ReplyDeleteIt's a sinker.
ReplyDeleteWould I perhaps be in the park
ReplyDeleteIf I guessed the teeth of a shark?
"A real test"...it is some kind of "testicle." Eeeewwwww Gordon! That is GROSS!
ReplyDeleteTentacles are my next guess
ReplyDelete4 of 8, or a squid's is my next best
it could also be a fish of jelly
lost to you in feeding it's belly
So comical these guesses and strange notions!
ReplyDeleteWhere could you take a test in the ocean?
I keep saying these hints are the keys.
If you take the test, you will also take these.
Let me repeat my clue fro before:
ReplyDelete"Living in the ocean is a real test.
That is one part, and this is the rest."
Tests are for schools
ReplyDeleteand schools are for fish
so now we have an unedible dish
the other place to take a test I reckon
is Aquarius research station
A test is a test is a test!
ReplyDeleteAnd it also depends on how the word "take" is used.
ReplyDeleteYou would test the depth of the ocean - is this something for measuring ocean depth???
ReplyDeleteYou must expand your knowledge of test.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you would do sysmographic testing. Am I close?
ReplyDeleteThat last clue was best by far
ReplyDeleteI now think this is a star
The kind that lives in the sea
and is also a type of "fish" we see.
For those looking for definition:
the hard, protective shell or covering of certain invertebrates, as echinoderms or tunicates (starfish)
J9 you are working very hard.
ReplyDeleteBut you are only in the yard.
You must learn a little more
To throw open the door.
I never said these were the test.
ReplyDeleteIf you find the test, you will find these.
You may find a test or a star.
ReplyDeleteWhen you find the right test, you'll know where you are.
I have observed many, many times,
ReplyDeleteThat these functioned as wind chimes.
There are many ways to rend it.
ReplyDeleteIt might even be a beautiful pendant.
Many night lights are made from the test.
ReplyDeleteThe color of these are really the best!
Interject if I could, perhaps driftwood?
ReplyDeleteWhatzit tests are not for the feint of heart.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you work to do your part.
To pass this little test of mine.
You'll certainly have to have a spine.
Kim, thanks for dropping in.
ReplyDeleteBut, your guess just will not win.
Aha - not stars at all
ReplyDeletea close relative for where it falls
Sea Urchin Spines I can atest
I should have known these best
Ashamed to say I am a diver
and these hadn't crossed my mind either!
Surely there is out there, now.
ReplyDeleteA shooter who will soon avow,
To what these little whatzits are.
This can't continue to go on very far.
My fingers are getting bruises and dents,
From typing all of these wonderful hints.
Gordon, you can't be serious
ReplyDeleteThese must be urchin spines
if not I'm curious.
My google search turned up this:
ReplyDeletehttp://gardennoise.com/sea%20urchin%20spine.jpg
for sure I thought I'd had you best!
J9, the diver, wins the marathon.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry this can't go on .
I hope this has been an educational game.
If not it's been fun, just the same.
Google urchins, tests and spines.
To see these beauties, all, divine.
The whatzits spines were in my drawer.
But, look them up, and you'll see more.
J9, keep you answered as I was typing.
ReplyDeleteSo don't go ventilating and hyping!
You clicked your comment before I clicked mine. I knew it was only a matter of time.
Without you here to keep me strait,
This whatzit game would not be great.
I love the whatzit game - even though I am not that good at it!
ReplyDeleteWhatzit next, Gordon?
Whew! Finally! =)
