Inspired by the game from NPR's What do you know?, except the theme here isn't news, it's...well, figuring that out is part of the fun ;P.

 

 

 

 

 

There were a pair of twins from Bali,

To whom hanging together was folly,

One always felt left out,

But neither would pout,

Instead they blamed it on ______.

 

 

 

Find him digging in the sand,

Or in his valley high in demand,

With stress he can cope,

But give him some dope,

And he'll let you measure his ______.

 

 

 

Girl, you're so fine and lean,

With a frame so bare it's obscene,

Put you on tape,

The critics will gape,

And never forget your name is ______.

 

 

 

Without anything he can go on,

Bouncing here, there, ping, and pong,

Pass him an invite,

He'll eagerly excite,

For such is the life of a ______.

 

 

 

His neighbor may be highly cagey,

But he's so calm it'll drive you crazy,

You'll sound like a fool,

But he's super cool,

Cuz his symbol is ______.
