0 plasmid Posted June 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Why thank you, Shakee. I learn by watching the best. Not a feather -- the "I" in this riddle has a curved beak and sheds the droppings, and isn't an eagle or anything too similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 plasmid Posted June 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Barber's scissors is a pretty good fit. But I'm looking for something that's more commonly associated with perching in a line and flocking with its kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would count either that one, or since they might not be commonplace to some people... Spoiler ... who just use washing machines and dryers, I also had clothes hangers in mind.

Question
plasmid
I perch in a line
And flock with my kind
Behold as my wings are extended
By curve of my beak
Are smoothened and sleek
Relaxing among the ascended
My droppings don’t dread
Evading your head
They won't splatter, but make you quite splendid
