Ewen Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Got sent this by a friend. I lived in a city that held as much as it could, So I moved to another that repaid what it should. The third had very little, with not much to be found, The fourth was very boring, with no change in the sound. The fifth was a jungle; wild beasts roamed in the street, The sixth was so foggy you could not see past your feet. The seventh was on the move; I could barely keep the pace, The eighth was so evil; a whole city in disgrace. The ninth was off-center; the people were bizarre, The tenth was quite truthful; where honesty is par. The eleventh was so wise; the acumen hurt my brain, So I settled in a twelfth, because it was so plain. Name each city he lived in. After a bit of head scratching to start with it clicked and I got 9 before needing google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
