Shifting, Shifting, ever Shifting

whilst the minute hand moves, time has no choice
moves one to the right, as if it has no voice.
what once was two now turns to three
just as what once was B now turns to C

Just as six before, the clues in colors
the clock turns clockwise, ignore the others
won't give it all, but just the gist
and if you still don't get it, try not to be... upset.

Fun and games for those that try
but also feel free to take a bye
but be sure to be here for the start of June
I might just be able to make you swoon

This site is getting to be a real "enigma"

The Red Herring

Ten little Soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Soldier boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Soldier boys traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Soldier boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

The 11th Hour

Clues and hints, teases and clues, with plenty more to come. I hope you've enjoyed the few Civil War quotes so far, kind of my way to kick things off... I have a few more weeks left till the 5th anniversary of The Plastic Battalion. Good news, bad news, it's all the same. While what once was fun, it just won't stand up to what's in the que. Stick around, and if you're lucky, you might figure out what's going on.

"Who ever saw a dead cavalryman!"

Common taunt used by Federal Infantry.

"...and - there they were at last! A long, brown, line, with muskets at right shoulder shift, in excellent order, right through the woods they came."

"The valley was filled with an impenetrable smoke and nothing could be seen but the fire belching from the guns. Loud above all was the exultant, fiendlike yell of the Confederate soldiers."

Private Thomas Southwick
