0 MissKitten Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 For some strange reason, my first thought was An arcade? Or an amusement park? Actually, that's a lie.

0 Shakeepuddn Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Well, this is the best I could come up with, but I doubt it's right. The Tower Bridge in London No, but good guess. My style uses a lot of metaphor ( would not call it a tower in the riddle if it were actually a tower), word play, and double entendres.

Question
Shakeepuddn
Here’s a totem a tale to tell
of worlds at war where hammers fell.
There’s a tower of windows six,
shades when drawn determined picks.
Face to face at the end of plot
Received a kiss, were missed when shot.
Two sentries stalwart held their ground
Guarding bridges spanning round.
