I'll say this, He promised change, They'll get what they want, just don't think they'll want what they get. technically then, you are not wrong, just on the wrong path good that you think dusted is important, as in writer being old or dead, or the book being old... just figure out why i'm talking about this by looking at the line under. you can actually solve the riddle by looking at any couplet, together they are all clues, dog included.

0 Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Wordsworth. Or Does it have anything to do with "The pen is mightier than the sword"? nice, but no, and it doesn't have anything to do with that particular saying, take the lines at face value as much as possible.

0 plasmid Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Welcome back, dancer. Looks like you've seen that you've become famous: multiple-part riddles have become known as dancer riddles, although this particular one doesn't seem to be of that variety. This guess feels like it might be on track enough for a rhyme. Glance down and see a fair display The magazine, it bids: obey And promises refinement Products show you have acumen Lack it? You're just barely human Beware this advertisement Edited October 12, 2009 by plasmid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There, I said it... now maybe it won't stay stuck in my head and I can come up with a real answer wow, i had to look that up. glad you got it off your chest though, heavy thinking. much too heavy. my riddles are actually always very simple, very simple answers, very clear once you get it. i'll give it a little more time, then would be happy to start breaking it down with you and give clues. but the mind that came up with the answer you just provided is a mind that can break any of my riddles, promise.

Question
Guest
Look down upon me
I can't be trusted
A man unworthy of his word
Look at your books, they should be dusted
I brought him down, immune to sword!
Are you a dog, sir?
Then why so ashen?
Stand upright, I'll help thee
We'll talk about fashion
