plainglazed Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 A one word solution for each following rhyme Then another as usual, found differently this time That lunatic is a hard case to crack Once that's overcome you needn't turn back Even when mild there's no need to exclaim Just seriously promise that you'll do the same After combing the scene such sweet surrender For sensitive reactions a local defender So it takes the cake, you cover the spread As a result, a cold streak, could end you up dead If at first it seems quite the exception The more you read into it betters perception Losing its cool when springs into action Tensions are eased, could increase the traction Delivered the pitch with utter success Striking a chord, you had to confess At first you might think you've found what to use But contrary to that, more puzzling ensues FWIW - links to similar ones from before: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plainglazed Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 spray...??? that's a very very good answer. definitely the right flavor for these. in my defense, it's tough to limit to a single answer with a single couplet without making it too obscure. am a little worried that how the second line relates to the answer is not so common knowledge. Still, the trick to this one is a different meaning of a key word that I think will then quickly direct to the answer sought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 yes indeedy, DD. maybe pushes the realm of common knowledge for which I think these riddles should qualify but local honey purportedly alleviates allergies/hayfever ...as referring to a bee. Same thinking on sensitive reactions except they cause them, and they are the local defender of the honey. Excellent riddle my pastry pal!
