Multiple Choice

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Multiple Choice.   (10 Marks)


Who was I?


(A)  I was hardwood.
         Polished -- I was shelved in
         Berwick-upon-Tweed.

(B)  I was Hobbes.
        Leviathan -- I slithered
        into a gazebo-of-weeds.

(C)  I was Morpheus
        Slick hair -- accompanied
        in midnight grease.

 (D) I was counter-top
        Thicket -- I was marble
        in  the leaves

I like the question in the poem. Gave me something to ponder this morning. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Very interesting. This made me "hmm" as well, and I like that in a poem. I never thought I'd see multiple choice in a poem, a very unique way to put it, indeed.

Hmmm

[Dayran]

Interesting question.

[Donald Meikle]

none of the above? or all of the above? But I like A, having been shelved for some time.

[Paul Grimsley]

Do you have, or are you close to having a collection assembled? Are you looking to traditional publishing or self-publishing? I am genuinely interested.

B? Did you not give the answer away at the end? :) I love the set-up of this...and I quite agree in dumb man's terms "stupid is as stupid does" most will believe anything if you let them. A thought provoker, thank you Cole! ^_^
