0 plasmid Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 By my logic Given their perfomance could be grounds for war Where several such acts possibly settle the score could be aire, if you are a fighter pilot Rationale is that the answers {allot, rear, sneak, aire, exit} would then lead to a fairly clear answer to the overall riddle having to do with beans, beans, the musical fruit, and fitting the "tweets" clue from the title Will try a more serious answer later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
plainglazed
Two line riddles, are these this time just five
Then as every other before, a final answer to derive
Grant it just might sound like a really great deal
Yet this given designation leaves no room for appeal
I tend to bring up, and educate in kind
All of that which follows, and what is left behind
Before each peek preview, and up on attack
A little soft-shoe, to steal away from the fact
Given their perfomance could be grounds for war
Where several such acts possibly settle the score
When you're in a jam, I'm the one way out
So make your escape, thereby leaving do doubt
