0 Guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) is it a semi truck hint:18 of them Nope - second line doesn't fit your answer.

0 Guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm leaning towards agreeing with the 18 original zodiac signs, but if I were to guess I'd say it's 18 elements from the periodic table that have the same abbreviation as a state of the union.

0 Guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I still think it's a compass ruler - picture attached My signature cherished, I’m world renowned - ? Ever in flight above the ground - Compass rulers float above the ground on the points Teeth of a bull chewing in time - The points "chew" into the paper on a chart Gnawing on knots, shunning the find - "Knots" refers to nautical miles on a ship's chart Hands at the ready, arms at the stay - The points are the arms, not sure about the arms Heart like the sun beating away - ? Ears like a rabbit pinned to the side - see picture Listening close, far, and wide. Eighteen in all, each heading a state - 18 inch ruler. Ruler is a head of state. Ever awaiting the fall of fate.

Question
Shakeepuddn
My signature cherished, I’m world renowned,
Ever in flight above the ground.
Teeth of a bull chewing in time,
Gnawing on knots, shunning the find.
Hands at the ready, arms at the stay,
Heart like the sun beating away.
Ears like a rabbit pinned to the side;
Listening close, far, and wide.
Eighteen in all, each heading a state,
Ever awaiting the fall of fate.
