Question

Two words together describe this to tame

In a strange way my meaning is just the same

Whether read word by word

Although it sounds quite absurd

All allude to my circuitous fame.

You don't want to meet me accidentally

Then draw near, be alert most mentally

Can go this way or that

Depends where you're at

So surely you can approximate my identity.

Sorry all for my lack of presence here lately. Went to the mountains over the long weekend and no connectivity. Am back now (obviously) and will better keep this one current. Nothing right yet. DN, the "this to tame" part refers only to the riddle itself so the answer is what is to tame. hm, though I hope this is an A1 riddle, there is no elaborate word play here, pretty much a straightforwared WAI.

Hope you don't mind me asking... what are A1 and WAI?

Hello again...

I wanted to guess fate like MrsP, but my new guess is crossroads?

Hello again to you as well. Excellent answer tho afraid not it.

on the tip of my mind but I cannot articulate it.

I know what you mean especially like when you have to say, well you know, am afraid it's, sorry, not it (that was a guess, right?).

a lion....????

I like this riddle....but I'm not sure if my answer is correct... :D:unsure:

Hey EDM, sorry not one of those. Though you can tame in a way this answer, that line also alludes to the riddle itself as being able to tame.

hey there Wilson, see you've been bitten by those charming cryptics. This one contains none of that. Both limericks are meant to describe the whole answer. Please keep at it.

Overseer? I think all the lines fit if you use the Diablo 2 version of the word... but it's a stretch.

Alcatraz Island? It's somewhat circular, lol.

Subway fits all but three lines.

Electroshock collar? My answers are getting pretty grim...

Train/Train?

Hopefully my thoughts are more honed this time.....

Sheath Knife ?

No sorry, my answers much more dull.

Am guessing that first one references a game. Sorry neither I nor my answer are gamers. This answer is also not grim. None right but please keep at it.
