The pieces of the plane
snapped together quite remarkably
from propeller to wing to cockpit
it’s parts have kept together
locked in tight – no need for a hammer or nails
superglue ? redundant
it would take some serious force
for it (or any of it’s fellow squadron)
to lose their wings
though there is a case
gravity may play a hand

There’s a reason why they put this label on boxes
Of course, you know why this is – so that when you open it
Pieces of the puzzle (the table you bought) – don’t get lost

Satellite imagery is wonderful technology
Landing pictures on our telly screens from far far away
Interference from Meteors, Asteroids (or even a Martian or two)
Can make the snap from the satellite look not as
Exact as you would have expected it
Directors playing jigsaw puzzles before putting it on screen
the elaborate jigsaw
lies strewn on the floor
of the coffee house
jagged shards of porcelain
cast out in a circular pattern
across the marble floor
perhaps the barista
should have taken note
of the temperature of
the coffee machine
For years now, people have been
ranting over the amount of packaging an item is wrapped in.
a thing they need to consider is where it’s
going to. There’s a lot of movement in a delivery van, and
if the owners don’t want their precious vases turned into a jigsaw puzzle
lifting the cargo will take a little bit of t.l,c.
equally, it will remind the removals team not to use them as a rugby ball
Poor old Dad!
Unusually for a Boxing day, he’d completed the thousand piece jigsaw –
Zany thing was – after he’d finished (he had that was clear) there was
Zero room for what he definitively labelled as “The Last piece”
Looking around the peripheries of the picture
Expecting to find a hole for this missing part
Dumbfounded ? Definately
In response to the daily post prompt
Rearrange
(Alternative title : one lads quest against the puzzle machine)
Salford, 28th October 2016
Ok, rearrange the mixed up puzzle bits…
Christmas is coming up so its a definite bet I shall be getting one of these from Santa’s Sack from a well meaning relative in a few weeks time
They say these things are good for the brain – I shall beg to differ.
Now here’s the funny thing.
These 3D wooden puzzles come in a completed state in a plastic box. Unlike your average jigsaw puzzle – the answers there already. What they want you to do is take them apart and put it back together again… and fit it back in the box…
It Kind of Defeats the objective doesn’t it ?
You break it apart – into its various ‘pieces’ and then take hours trying to put it back together again.
I take solace in they give you a ‘solution’ – but try and get any of these puzzles the way they were presented in the box…and I can hear the sound of screaming up and down the country
worse still they dangle the carrot – of another solution, rearranging the pieces
and lord help you if you lose a piece….
and then when you finally made the blessed thing…what happens?
someone undoes all your hard work and you have to begin again….
(AARRRGH!!!!!)
That was me screaming in silent frustration after completing the brown wood pyramid puzzle in the photo and then seeing it fly in different directions….
I’m sticking with the Ipad puzzles.
