0 Guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I don't think this is the answer at all, but I keep coming back to something carbon related, as it's the basis of life. Perhaps I'm being too literal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am only lending it the name, so I expect to have it back soon. HA! I lent the answer to the riddle a name, my own name, as it were. Did I win?

0 Guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am thinking perhaps it is an abstract not a concrete. I am thinking it is more of an idea type thing like liberty or love or freedom.... something along those lines if ya know What I mean. But anyway, my intial idea was statue of liberty.... I know it doesn't fit, but still. Oh and btw, by abstract I mean something you can't see like see my spoiler "???". And concrete is something you can see like a shoe.

Question
Shakeepuddn
A diamond glinting in the sand
On a darkened beach in a distant land.
A sign for some, for others a gem
To garnish the tomes of learned men.
Maker of many save but two;
But for me there would be no you.
