0 plasmid Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 We are all riddle writers That's the distractor, not the real answer. (My theme is writing "I'm not a ..." riddles with an obvious answer in the title and a covert answer.) hugemonkey or rookie1? They all write different styles of puzzles, and play nicely together. I wasn't heading down that path, just writing a regular What Am I riddle and noticed that a lot of the names could be incorporated in clues. Knowledge about Brainden is not required to answer the riddle (just to get a chuckle at the clues). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
plasmid
Though you may search for many days
You'll find me plain and never glazed
Unless a juvie, much like Bart
Derides the dean and calls it "art"
I'll keep the peace by keeping out
All those who aren't your pals, devout
If sentenced for the crimes of others
Defy me, send a file to brother
I guide the ways that people romp
Ergo, the lotus won't get stomped
And I'm the reason wood's forsaken
You'd better keep this pudding shaken
Mrs P heads East, as John B West
They're well apart (I'll do my best)
