The Puppet Show...

 Nose,
one cause even;
 were crone 
our summer.

Kim, @ dverse poets, has given us a challenge for sure! She has provided us with a few 'sets' of words, from which we can choose one or more sets to form a poem, without changing their sequence. [See below] My contribution reflects the times when Punch and Judy puppet shows were a highlight on the beaches in Summertime. They would not be very politically correct today!  Here's the link to dverse poets: Random Optician's Words
Here are the sets we got to choose from:

nose – one – cause – even
were – crone – our – summer

name – use – means – arose
near – can – remove – sure
crow – verse – see – renew
assume – once- van – sum
aware – caves – sea – cream

  1. I remember Punch and Judy on the beach, Carol, and Mr Punch’s nose! He was scary though.

    1. I have never actually seen a show in person, so my poem was a bit of 'poetic license'. ;D

    1. I think I took the challenge too literally! No padding in sight! :D

  3. When I first saw your illustration photo, I saw a banana flower hanging down on a long stem. Then I saw a little creature huddled at the top of it and when I enlarged it, saw the crone!

    1. Thanks! I think I took the challenge too literal and didn't understand the question! It kinda worked anyway. :D
