IT A PoeM PuZZLE

YYYURYYYUBICURYYMEMEMEME

Too Wise You Are, Too Wise You Be, I See You Are Too Wise for Me.

If you're too lazy not to pick up your teaser on the Internet, I can pick the answer there, too!

I will always be more lazy that you are.

But you are wrong. YYY is 'wise', it is clearly not 'too wise'.

And I didn't get it from the Internet; I got it from the Space 1999 Annual, in the late 1970s - probably 1977 or thereabouts. Space 1999 was something of an obsession of mine until Star Wars came to the Hyde Park Picture House and captured my seven-year-old heart.

Okay, it's so improbable an explanation it's probably true. you're forgiven.



Still, the interpretation I gave still works.

(Well, except, if YY is 2Ys, then MEMEMEME should be 4MEs.)

Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds?

It's still there apparently.

Tonight, it's showing Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs!

At 12.00 pm.

Maybe you can make it if you're quick about it.


So, go down memory lane, you little brat.

Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds

"One of the landmark events in the history of the little Picture House happened in 1989 when Leeds City Council stepped in to save it from closure."

I would need to be extraordinarily quick about it - it takes at least 30 hours to get there from here, despite most of the journey being at almost 1,000km/h.

The by-line makes sense but when I try to decipher the poem I get gibberish. Let me fiddle with this a little longer...

I'm glad someone's working on it. I'm sure you almost have it!

The "secret message," once you find it, is very familiar — it's probably been typed out often — but may be a very important message for today's America.

Here is a hint:

Toniight auspice trieth.​

The secret message is easier to read if we part the poem at a different place:

Yet
Or pamper wife
What if you do it anew?

He took the smoooch of tender mæd
Go now gal, clean room.

Feel me in teeth, a tusk
I swooon​

That was the hint I needed! I enjoyed learning about the word palimpsest, Charles E. Weller and the history of the typewriter. Here is a "poem" of my own in the style of Swammerdami:

"Upon Yukon far hot"

Gone isn't imam,

To reek tune easy,

An wet fax hat.
