Thursday Morning Riddle: Flashback
Thursday, July 1st, 2010The three riddles are recycled, but the single answer is new.
I’m the first in the spectrum that split light creates;
In the ledger, my presence a loss indicates;
I’m far left in the East, but I’m right in the States;
And the Hanrahan prefix in stories by Yeats.
I’m the fur on a chick; on a chicken, the beak;
I’m routine on a cab; on a sub, I’m unique;
In my pages, I’m numbered; in news, I’m oblique;
And I’m often accused of a cowardly streak.
I’m a grass trimmed for putting; I’m hugging a tree;
I’m a party where some on the left might agree;
I’ve a lack of experience; jealous, I’ll be;
And I’ve heard it ain’t easy for frogs being me.
Who am I?
