Friday's Can We Make It To 1000 Riddle

[crcormier]

Don't know horsegirl but here is a copy of resume just in case anyone out there is hiring!

I am the very model of a modern morning riddler
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern morning riddler .
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can write then the correct answer and send it in
Take care of my kids yet be back in time to whohooty again
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern morning riddler.

how many words begin with the letter "C" ??? Hmmmm......

Ooooh, playing with fire there. Let me list a few that the lovely and talented Tag Fairy might consider:

-- crazed
-- cracked
-- catastrophic (as is, "it shows catastrophically bad judgment to criticize the Tag Fairy")
-- comatose (no reason, I just like saying "comatose")
-- chinchilla (that's for Tooty)
-- coniption fit
-- crabby
-- cone of silence (ah, were this true)

Just a few suggestions.
