Bill — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:00:50 +0000

Though you call me a veggie, I’m really a fruit;
I’m a racquet-ball game with a healthy repute;
I’m to put down, suppress, or just crush with a boot;
And a drink that has water and juice at its root.

Who am I?

And the ill-fated body a demon possessed.

Riddle me this…

I’m a mammal with sonar – my flight never crashes;
I am useful in baseball; or winning the Ashes;

And for young Jewish girls, I’m a reason for bashes.

And the length a TV show is often renewed.

And a game where it helps to be steady of hand.
