0 plainglazed Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 race? Dude, your answer does make sense, of course, but hopefully mine is more tied in (any puns not intended to at all relate to the riddle ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 - REWRITE - In an emergency setting it's the time to chose How you play the game, not just win or lose Conversation requires but just two to be used The heavenly king's doxy, internally abused It just doesn't add up, lest there is one On fairly even terms what once was called none Then afterall that's been learned I still remain The answer now known, please tell me my name. This one has similar flavor to Also wish I had left out the subtitle. Am thinking maybe there's really no more word play than what normally might be thrown into a riddle.
