Babylon Logos said:Favoured by men, I am found far and wide,
taken from woods and the heights of the town,
From high and from low. during each day
bees brought me through the bright sky
skillfully home to a shelter. Soon after that
I was taken by men and bathed in a tub.
Now I blind them and chasten them, and cast
a young man at once to the ground,
and sometimes an old one too.
He who struggles against my strength,
he who dares grapple with me, discovers immediately
that he will hit the hard floor with his back
if he persists with such stupidity.
Deprived of his strength and strangely loquacious,
he's a fool, who rules neither his mind
nor his hands nor his feet.
Now ask me, my friends,
who knocks young men stupid,
and as his slave binds them
in broad waking daylight?
Yes ask me my name.
What alcohol is made by honey? Or am I totally off track...
Another to add to the mix:
Both loud and silent
'Pending on who looks at me
Small and large
Heavy and light
Often a quirk of hindsight
Some believe me worthy
Some collect me
Some burn me
What am I?
Hopefully it's easy enough.
