Question

When it first dawns on you

However taxing it may feel

A little shot of encouragement

Take it from me, t'will help you deal

Where all is safe and sound

Comfort I afford, complete

Shouldn't have to spill the beans

For I know you can take the heat

But otherwise, if all else fails

You might comically have it to face

So you 'd better get a grip cause

My name, it's time that you place

a thumb!

:thumbsup:

Edit..add the obvious...

hey fabpig, not that, sorry.

a yawn

a breath

hello quantum_hole and welcome to the Den - good thoughts both but not the answer am looking for.

palm or punch? Can't make either fit very well, but I keep coming back to them.

sad state when it comes down to a process of elimination. you can strike those.

Eggs in a frying pan. Or just each of them individually.

hey Molly Mae - just reread with your answer in mind. very cool answer and nice fit. but not what i intended.

@all - am afraid this one has become difficult not because the subject is well disguised but because what part of the riddle the subject actually is is poorly defined. from the start, several have hit upon the "it(s)" that are referred to but am wanting the "me/I". sorry for the ambiguity.

New direction altogether....

A bouncer, or a bartender... Santa Claus?

none of those C_V - this one is an inanimate tangible object

So does this mean we get the answer?

no, not yet, sorry for the confusion. what I meant was the meanings of the it(s) in the riddle have been noticed and even guessed previously. like the first one being morning from the play on words "it first dawns on you". but morning is not the answer to the riddle. I eliminated the 'twill in the rewrite because that it would refer to the answer. The answer is the I or me.

A baby sucking its thumb at its christening

nope but get where you're coming from.

The adrenal gland? Or perhaps the heart?

I had also thought of faucet, carton, and barrel (dark humour, I guess). The connection seems better with the heart or the gland, though.

urr, sorry, no. the last one definitely brought chuckles but then what a mess *picturing gray beans everywhere*.

pie or dough?

missed this one earlier, sorry. but not those

How can it be an 'i', if its an inanimate object?

oh, if only this thing could talk (not meant as a hint). poetic license?

Stove? Burner?

sound logic with the above but still looking for something else

teeth...???

hey EDM - good guess but, alas, no.
