The feckless travelling salesmen, received a beating sound For gods sake they seem to be, jumping as if for joy But careless public speakers, take the icing on the cake For skirting around the issues, those more fair simply employ. There to clean up the mess, but nursing not their wounds Struggling to keep their heads up, for it's their final song The skein takes flight unwinding, as they are prone to do And the value of silence resounds in their ears, hanging on so long. Could be another option for, the rude whistleblowing As even the gossipy old biddies may, open with a kiss Then slowly but finally a winner of, some simple sign of peace For a family that plays together, what would comes from this?

Well, had said I would keep at it so...

Hey EDM/Chrispen - Haven't gone all the way thru the responses for a while but have read them all at some time soooo sorry if already guessed -
-
Hey Jkb -
-
Ah, man, well deduced CP. Wasn't even close. Especially considering the amount of time I studied this one. Most enjoyable Sp (and a fine riddle, too )
-
I confess, cant cut it anymore, either.
-
-
Adding "Solved" feature. Congrats again Wilson and thanks to all. Back to the drawing board (but may have to Shake this other riddle racking my brain first).
-
Yes Wilson, foiled again, well done. You seem to have my number of late.
-
Sp - not it PS - good guess hello mevuc - welcome to the Den. a very good guess as you've correctly interpreted a lot of my intended meaning and jist. different giant tho. thanks for the response.
-
-
Yes, to both (though there could be more than two giants).
-
Dude - sorry I missed this one. not that twisted tho...
-
not that; not abstract - tangible have printed a copy of yours (wow...) to study, still parsing but have to be away from my machine. bbs with a jar full of guesses.
-
Not those guys, please keep a guessin.

- REWRITE - Once but for a time, long gone by Whose name I don't care to recall A fearless battle of giants fought With chivalry lost in the fall If then but a fanciful conquest for one Today the future in the balance may tilt For now is poised a mightier blade A powerful answer to this dilemma we've built While rancorous dispute's not soon overcome And circular logic just fuels the debate Its current success made abundantly clear What this simple twist could generate.
-
no problema - that last line as written does suggest an event but that's misdirection (working on that line now).
-
Hey plasmid - most enjoyable and well conceived as always. am very proud to figure one of yours but at the same time, a little sorry for no more guesses to be had.
-
-
Hey plasmid - unfortunately I never saw or heard tell of either. Shakee, none of those and your point regarding which line seeks the answer is surely justified - the last line - but think I was hasty to post this one and need to work on a little rewrite.

Once but for a time, long gone by This name I care not to recall A fearless battle of giants fought With chivalry lost in the fall If then but a romantic conquest for one Today the future in the balance may tilt For now is poised a mightier sword A powerful answer to this dilemma we've built While rancorous dispute's not soon overcome And circular logic just fuels the debate Its current success still's abundantly clear With just this one simple, twist of fate.
-
impeccably smart and polished - love your style... and thanks
-
Hey Scudo - A really fantastic riddle. Followed all along but never was able to fully formulate a guess. Cant wait to see what you come up with next. Thanks for the fun. EDIT: you may need to do something about that stutter tho...
-
I know, this riddle's over, but forgot to include credit to ~Just~Me~ for her fabulous alternative answer.
-
Well done Wilson. And to the many fine alternative answers by Mabus and Shakee (just not what I had had for lunch). My apologies if this one was too vague/open ended (that's usually why I cheat and embed some kind of PoW). Thanks to all.
