1,6,3,1,4




Not him or her, don’t look too far
For pronoun perpendicular.
Ocular orb, a town near Diss,
You surely must be getting this.

 

I had it once but here’s the score
I do not have it anymore.
I wonder where it might be hid -
In haven to support its bid?

 

It is as plain as plain could be
The holy Deutsch divinity
It is exactly as you heard
You must omit the fourth or third.

 

Beef or mutton? Go one higher
It’s horsy food that you desire.
Played on banjo, flute or sung?
Three major sharps but minor none.

 

You only have the downstairs floor
Is the rope inside a drawer?
Mystery solved? No need to fuss
You simply leave off Homer’s cuss.
