Win a Filk of Your Very Own!
by
This week’s medieval riddle is an especially odd one. The answer is obscure and strange. So, please do not be intimidated! Guess and be creative because if no one manages to guess the exact correct answer, then the prize will go to the one with the most creative and humorous answer. As usual with the riddles, the prize is the right to pick which one of my SCA filk songs that will be posted this week.
However, this week there is an extra bonus. In addition, I will also write a brand new filk on the topic of the winner’s choice. And I will post that new filk on Saturday. So, get to guessing and have fun!
Riddle:
A crature came where there sat many wise men in the meeting-place.
He had two ears and one eye, two feet and twelve hundred heads,
a back and a belly, a pair of hands, two shoulders and arms, a neck,
and two sides. Now tell me his name.

The government: It has 1200 heads looking at the wold through the same filter with one goal in mind: filling its belly. It pretends to listen, pretends to help, but is only waiting to consume you.

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.
