Now that the thread is over, I thought I would explain the very very bad poetry.
The moon reflects the sun. Sun gods are usually male.
The sky blankets the earth. Sky gods are usually male.
That which is above, is clouds. Cloud/sky gods are usually male.
That which comes below, again clouds in the form of fog, again usualy male.
That which the lord died upon, a cross or stake. BOTH are phallic symbols, thus again symbols of the male. (Contrary to the WT's position that the cross is a phallic symbol but a stake is not.)
Also a cross sits ontop of a steeple, both the cross and steeple being phallic, thus male symbols.
Why only? Y only? If I am not Y only I must be XY, male.
Water is drunk, a female symbol. I am not female.
Monty Python didn't search for nothing. Though that was a good guess. No, he searched for what? The Holy Grail. Grails and Cauldrons are symbols of the female. I am not that thus I am male.
Finally, plum hit it on the head. That which is hidden behind a veil is a woman, I am not a woman. That leaves me to be a male.
Since this poem was in reference to Lilacs question, at least tellus whether you are male or female, the allegory throughout should be pretty evident now. Plum did a pretty good job of analysing it. Hit right on the mark with a few of them. Though it wasnt sexual innuendo, it was gender innuendo.

Now to Xena's Question about my nationality.
Americans call themslves a melting pot. This is fine imagery but I prefer being a shish kabob. All of the nationalities in the world live here. We are the only ones that can say that. Rather than losing our flavor in a big kettle though, I think we mix, like a kabob, and enhance each other.
Those thought to wear horns are the Vikings, the Scandanavians. They never did, its a myth. The ones who actually did were the celts. Especially the Irish.
The french lost wars, two in particular. And the USA won some. In fact those same wars.
The Famine Irish fled Eire to the USA and our protection.
I am thus of the Diaspora of the Irish, the dispersed people.
Hunters in the snow, Scandanavian.
Fishers on the sea, french, with their snails, and Irish, for whom fishing has always been a large industry.
Being from the old world, is europe, and three races I have then, Irish, Scandanavian, and french. (Yes I have scots, but they are really Irish)
I am from the new world, lived and will die here. The United States.
The last was a poor attempt at some wordology.
Oh that which you sought to know...[line removed]
high and valleys are not too low...[line removed]
Oh do you need yet another clue.
Oh, High Oh, Ohio.
Also my comment to Butalbee about not confusing me. Many of yall know I am easily confused. I was voted most gullible in Hygh School.
Then I tossed out something which Cassiline got. And I am he who writes really bad poetry. That clinched it for her. But of course so did my post, which she provided the link to. That was many many months ago, so I am still surprised anyone remembered it.
I have to say I kinda like that post. hehehe.
And it was big fun for me. Glad to see it was for some of yall also. We will have to come up with some events in the future. Perhaps posting them to the humor section. Little mysteries. But I doubt I can do the "Who Am I" thing again.
However just to be sure I will post the other names I will use. But I have NOT registered them. If I do I will tell you all plainly. I affirm that by my hair, by my eyes, and by my teeth.
I will affirm again a second time that I wont use these names without telling you all it is me.
And yet finally a third time I affirm that these names will not be used by me unless and until I state plainly in my Hygh or Ini nick that I am going to be using them.
There, I am bound by it now per Irish custom. I can't even blarney it. I did this anyhow in case someone registered them away from me. Then yall know it is NOT me.

So since I cannot play this game again. We will have to come up with some interesting mystery games. Unless someone else wants to play Who Am I?
