YYURYYUBICURYY4ME
[Please see yesterday's post before going further.]
I was reminded of this puzzle while listening on the air to a discussion among scientists on chromosomes that differentiate the sexes. The X's and Y's were flowing. Did I hear "Two X's and one Y," "Two Y's and one X"? "Two Y's"?
My friend Eric had put me on to the above puzzle/poem, and my difficulty with it had been I couldn't make the first two letters say "Two Y's," which would have unlocked the conundrum:
Too wise you are
Too wise you be
I see you are
Too wise for me
While listening to the scientists, I also realized what a panoply "Two Y's" had for the ear:
Two Y's
Two I's
Two eyes
Too wise
They are all pronounced exactly the same!
