NOTE; this is the 3rd posting,
on the third forum, of this little
puzzler, NO ONE has ever guessed
correctlty yet, hmmm   Steve B


A Mystery

What is this thing in front of me?
So strange, it is a mystery.
It can't be touched, but you can see.
Can no one tell me what it be?

Does anyone know of a key,
To unlock it's identity?
What is this thing in front of me?
So strange, it is a mystery.

And now I'll make another plea,
Of all or any, he or she,
That can tell me quite ably,
The answer to my quandary.
What is this thing in front of me?
So strange, it is a mystery.

Steve B
1999

I agree with Rosebud...life is a mystery...that is the correct answer...or perhaps your computer is a mystery to you...James

The only thing that comes to mind...
The only thought I get
Is this mysterious thing that can't be touched
Called the Internet!

Air? Fate? Miniscule dust mites that are seen only through a microscope?

I dunno, Steve B. You stumped me.

Fine poem!
