Mr. Underhill (Not His Real Name)

[bnewman]

A riddle poem with multiple solutions.

by Benjamin Newman

Mr. Underhill (not his real name)

Is not who you've been told.

He isn't so naive, or tame,

As to play the pawn in your little game;

To mess with him you must be rather bold!

 

Mr. Underhill (not his real name)

Has been lost in translation,

Has breathed, and had breathed at him, flame,

And taught art and science, both arcane,

But not while on vacation.

 

Mr. Underhill (not his real name)

Turns up in the strangest places,

And he never seems quite the same;

In fact, he's earned considerable fame

For wearing a variety of faces.
