Aaaaarrrrrggghhhh!
"Who might just have a fickle clue
On what are Dead Sea pickled pears and rue"
I am embarrassed that I did not catch that this was a poem-let.
The "on" appearing at the end of the first line
Disguised to my eyes the "ue-ey" rhyme.
Tonight I'll drink vinegar and put myself to sleep on sharp stones.
Rue is traditionally associated with regret.msfry wrote: ↑July 18th, 2018, 8:07 pm Thanks, Bill. PL OK. You sound like the kind of guy

All I can find about Dead Sea pickle pears" are references to hand and body emollients, lotions, etc.
Rue is a bitter, foul smelling herb, a botanic healing plant. I don't see how that fits in with the mentions in these two poems, however.
