Often I must strive with wind and wave, and battle them both when under the sea.
I feel out the bottom, a foreign land; in lying still I am strong in the strife.
If I fail in that they are stronger than I, and wrenching me loose, soon puts me to sea.
They wish to capture what I must keep, but I can master them both if my grip holds out; if the rocks bring succor and lend me support and strength in the struggle.
Why is K like a sunrise?
Why is L like a warm furnace?
Why is M a favorite with miners?
Why is N like a pig?
Why is O the only of five vowels that you can hear?
K is like a sunrise because it appears at the end of DARK.
L is like a warm furnace because it makes IT LIT.
M is a favorite with miners because it makes ORE MORE.
N is like a pig because it makes A STY NASTY.
O is the only one of the five vowels that you can hear because all the others are in AUDIBLE (INAUDIBLE).
I came long ago, from icy realms far;
I may have seen the newborn Superstar.
Giants reached out to grab me, as they say;
I turned aside, and there my pathway lay.
England’s King, in me a dark omen saw;
People watched me in horror, fear, and awe.
And as the frightened folk did weep and wail,
I calmly left and then did turn my tail.
A pope banished me for my sins, ’tis said;
My travels in the Talmud can be read.
And sometimes I throw fire from the sky.
Now, reading this, can you say what am I?
