0 EDM Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I would say bipolar disorder but it doesn't make sense...so...Multiple Personality Disorder? Or it could just be Oompa Loompas or the weird creatures from Alice in Wonderland... ...A PACK OF CARDS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could just be Oompa Loompas or the weird creatures from Alice in Wonderland... ...A PACK OF CARDS!!! heh no. the answer would be easily provable on each line I recommended solving the middle stanza first since that is unquestionably the most well known of the three. from there you may need to use wikipedia in a clever way to solve for the other one or two. but of course, it's more than possible to be familiar with all 3, this is just advice for those who are not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 here's a possible giveaway and final hint, but I don't think it's fair to keep it hanging around fictional classics that have been made into films Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
itachi-san
Years of torment I withstood
Biding time as best I could
But when my job was at an end
I had lost my greatest friend
One wished to join our mighty band
But nothing went quite as he planned
For few remained in airs of doubt
And all were forced into a bout
Of noble blood, but few could see
What was my true identity
But with the sun I was replaced
So all could look upon my face
