0 tiger_lily111 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Breakfast? The 1st makes me think of eggs, 2nd bacon, 3rd juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 WitchOfDoubt Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 This calls to mind some kind of nut or bean. I'm thinking "making coffee" or "trail mix", but too many clues don't fit. A "sword" could be a kitchen utensil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 first stanza looks like eggs, second is bacon, third is oj washing them down? it's breakfast though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plasmid Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 All that Witch of Doubt says is correct. But there's something specific I have in mind and have left some clues for, which I think fits significantly more soundly than eggs, bacon, and OJ.

0 Molly Mae Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I was thinking of some drink, but couldn't come up with one that matched (but I'm not familiar with many drinks outside of beer). So I'll go with a BLT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 plasmid Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I was thinking of some drink, but couldn't come up with one that matched (but I'm not familiar with many drinks outside of beer). So I'll go with a BLT. Ever so close. Were I to point out all the clues, I think it would become obvious. Maybe I will if it doesn't get solved in another day or two.

Question
plasmid
A nation preps its children for fight
In duos, formation assume
With sundered shields, dispersing in fright
Thus routed, they head to their doom
Another state sends troops by the score
Platoons on their way to the field
Forsake their spirits, fighting this war
Near naked, no chance but to yield
With fight commenced, both armies are crushed
A sword marks the end of their routes
Third holy might, to meet them they've rushed
Embracing the fallen recruits
