plainglazed Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) A simple little contrivance One might describe me thus When taking sides I've two The objects not to fuss On the one hand hold me close I'll help you face the fact On the other nothing's perfect No worries, just redact Be careful how you do it No one should realize But regardless how you use me I'm too small for my size Edited March 22, 2010 by plainglazed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 the human brain/conscience or the eye ball? hey slyalys - good guesses but not it. rose-colored glasses? A nice way to look at it, tres chic, but no. left hemisphere/right hemisphere of brain? differing points of view? hey again chic - not it again, sorry. a handkerchief or napkin hey t_l - not those. contact lens Arrgh, just saw Dudley's! ahoy there matey - thought Dudley was referring to a camera lens with the redact clue fit but possibly slightly overstretched with the last clue. like yours better with the last clue but still not it. wish I could figure out how to say more but fear it would only mislead. Spreadsheet cell? hey Wilson - excelent answer but alas, no. a diary hello robotron. Welcome to the Den! Your answer makes a lot of sense but not the one I have in mind. Please keep at it. Fear I may have made this one more vague by trying to extend the double meaning of contrivance which noone has really fallen for. Will say this is indeed a tangible object smaller than a breadbox. I have faith it's still very gettable and will hold off with the rewrite/earlier version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
