0 Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 strep Nope. Incidentally, most of the lines are meaningful clues. There are possibly two answers that would work, but I hope that my intended solution is the best fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 cancer was my first guess, but already shot down. So how about a tidal wave and drowning in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Alzheimersor senility Excellent! That's what I had in mind. My grandpa had Alzheimer's and he recently died from it. Most people only associate it with memory loss, but it also affects speech and physical capabilities, and I figured it would be too big a clue if I specifically mentioned memory loss. In any case, I guarantee you that any family that has to deal with it will be very familiar with the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
The wisest sage I mystify
His clever words I steal
I wrest his hope and leave to die
Into the chaos let him reel.
He'll never hear my deft approach
He'll not foresee my game
But once my hands are at his throat
All close to him will know my name.
