ANAGRAMS OF GARDENERS' QUESTION TIME SUBMITTED BY LISTENERS |
|
|
|
We might have guessed that the mention of anagrams would get the Radio 4 audience working and so it has.
Mick Tully started things off by offering "Germinations Requested".
Maurice Goddard of Oslo in Norway suggests "Radio's greenest men quit".
Maggie Keber points out another anagram is, "A squire tormenting seed",
Ali Barwani and David Palmer both suggest "Germinated Questioners",
Marion Turnball offers "Question re Garden Mites",
Mike Friel writing from North Korea found "Mad enquiries get no rest' lurking in out programme title,
Serena Penman found 'Seeds in rotten quagmire'
From North Yorkshire Martin Werner offers "Administer green quotes",
Dr. Di Collinson from Belle Vue in South Devon has a suitably medical anagram, "Red mite inquest rages on".
From Treboul in Brittany David & Joss say that after a good lunch and good wine and listening to us on Long Wave they came up with "Trees dream in quiet song",
Jon Gearhart of Des Moines in the United States stretches things a little by also including the programme title with his anagram to create "Man toting seed requires Gardeners' Question Time".
The modest 'MJB' offers "Note, ants require midges"
Alan Gibson has sent an eight-verse poem with every line ending in an anagram of Gardeners' Question Time:
Here's a story, like a slam,
in verse, it has to rhyme,
each line an anagram
of "Gardeners Question Time".
"Storm it green," queen said,
men are in dirt, quest goes.
"More gin," request instead;
determining square toes.
Quiet garden merits nose;
mad quiet nose rings tree,
meant sign, quiet red rose:
men dress gin or quiet tea.
"Quest in dirt," so men agree,
"dig on requirement's seat."
And grim queen stir to see,
and quiet ring-roses meet.
Go mini-dress queen treat;
mind quiet regret, so sane
men quest an iris do greet
gene request moist drain.
Got miss red queen retain;
dare-not-sin quest regime.
Ten gems or seed quit rain.
Engineers do quit stream.
"Notes required," sing team.
Men dig quiet stones rear,
quite torn genesis dream,
metro quest design in ear.
Ten minds quit or see gear
aged minister on request.
Quoted resting semi-near:
maiden quest; region rest.
And finally, this rather surreal offering from Evelyn Dooley of Stockport, "Gnome requires a dentist".
