0 plasmid Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) bird poopies? Chess Vixen takes this riddle! The paved lots of the first stanza are the target. The bird s*it are the "angel tears" in the second stanza leading to the abruptly appearing quagmire. That's why the land is pure white in the third stanza and the wickedness must be wiped away. And as the fourth stanza says, this is unfortunately not a one time thing. The real riddle is: Who was the Einstein who decided to put the bird sanctuary right next to the parking lot at my university?!?! Edit: cloth because it's so bad I can barely see out my windshield otherwise Edited June 5, 2009 by plasmid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, the DAY you wash it, there's not just one target that hit your car? I want to write in to Myth busters. I swear they aim their poo. Brilliant riddle and topic, plasmid. I LOVE it.

Question
plasmid
Modern man has gone astray
Enraged with want of care
Land's defiled to pave thier way
Pollution fills the air
Quagmire all around appears
The change is so abrupt
Downward fall the angels' tears
Amidst a land corrupt
Now in purest white is cloaked
The place of our dismay
Then we see the faithful folk
Wipe wickedness away
Is this just one lone event
For isolated sin?
I doubt, and fear that we'll be sent
Time and time again
