we were asked to
produce a riddle.
See if you can guess
the answer – and
how to get there.
My first is in
genders that come in two kinds,
Take both and dissect
them and what do you find?
Three quarters of one
and a half of the other –
They both are the
same from the father and mother:
And so having done
that, just what do you gain?
This mini acrostic
leaves evil in Spain.
My first was quite
easy, I'm sure you agree.
So let's try my
second: more complex, you'll see.
So, Daniel Day Lewis
(2007)
Predicted a wound
(it's the red stuff I reckon)
And Hugh Grant had
many a nuptial heaven
When one is enough
for part one of my second.
Part two is the home
of a dominant widow:
Ms White, you could
say, but the house is in Spain.
Part one and part two
are both plays (get it, kiddo?)
Both written by whom?
That's the clue you must gain.
Put my first and my
second together and now
You're almost
approaching the whole, I concede.
A mountainous island
that's part of a province –
But even the province
is not what I need.
In fact it's just one
of a whole fifty-two
But what are they
part of? I've already said it!
I was hoping by now
that you already knew,
Because in the
earlier stanzas you read it!
