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

[Barbara Walker]

Another one with great rhythm and flow. Love your word choices and the framework of this piece! All of the stanzas are excellent, but the first one is my favorite.

You had me right from the Title"Multiple Choice". Thanks my friend

[Rahul]

Do you have one more option like ("E) which contains "ALL OF ABOVE''...if not then add it and i know i've got 10/10 :P

[Maria.F.T]

So much fantastic

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Very intrested write, clever I must say!

[SHEEMA HUQ]

interesting because it's not quite abstract, infact a clear use of different materials and I don't entirely relate this one to your assertion about stupidity, a nice write though

[Jetta Zippora]

Ooo. Very beautiful write. For me it's hard to choose...between Morpheus and Hobbes. Brilliant words and simple form, my friend. :)

[Pax]

hmm.... interesting... can't chose which is which... is there any E for all of the above like ms. Corset said... intriguing and genuien u...well done my friend!

[Mockingbird]

sounds like someone angsty trying to validate their existence and is able to define themselves. i would say 'c' because you are a mysterious person.

[Corset]

E-all the above , you forgot E, but if I have to pick from these it was D , you are "D" and quite possibly C or maybe that was someone else but you were definitely the concrete jogger. I'm sure of it.
