akaslickster Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 The mind is a terrible thing to waste. It is like time, when it flies, in haste. Through the window, you may see a boor. Keep his body, outside the door. A structure like this, there's no time to miss, "what am I", and you will soon score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grey cells Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Youthfulness or childhood. The mind is a terrible thing to waste. ----- Brain detoriates with age(but not in the den ) It is like time, when it flies, in haste. ----- Youth vanishes quickly to be replaced by adulthood Through the window, you may see a boor. Keep his body, outside the door------ Through the window of time , you see yourself maybe as a man who has lost his charms A structure like this, there's no time to miss,----- There's no time to waste in childhood . "what am I", and you will soon score. Take a picture and see how it looks, you will never line those books. ----- After becoming old , when you see yourself in the mirror , you remember your school days. This is a rhyme that shows the border, figure it out and I owe you a quarter. Don't reveal the answer just yet , Aka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a picture and see how it looks, you will never line those books. Some of the lines seem to point to money. "what am I", and you will soon score.--> If you "score" in some competitions, then you win money. figure it out and I owe you a quarter.--> If you're owed a quarter, you're owed money. you will never line those books.--> This is the line that got me thinking money; people can can line their pocketbook (wallet) with money. It may be something more specific related to money, but that's my guess for now.*crosses fingers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Job cryptic chic. With enough hints a big congratulations goes to you. Books have frames. You can score in a frame of bowling. Vaguely. A frame can be cut in a quarter.
