Thursday Morning Riddle
I’m six notes on the trumpet that hold high regard;
To ask money for payment; or put on your card;
When a basketball player is rough with his guard;
And in battle, I’m rushing the enemy hard.
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by Neel Mehta. See comments for answer.

If it moves down a wire, you would say that it’s “hot;”
If you hear it in court, answer “guilty” or “not;”
Your laptop will falter if this gets too low,
And poured in a musket, it makes the shot go.

Nice job Craig!!!

Nice rhyme, Craig! I especially like the first couplet.
Anybody want to post the answer?

Craig has added response enough!

Charge, suckas!
It’s nice to steal the answer and let someone else do the additional rhyming for a change.

CHARGE is correct. Thanks, Neel.
Sorry about that, but the only way for me to be fair is to be consistent.
Honorable mention to Craig, who obviously knew the answer.

This day will haunt you, Neel…

Probably not, since he was caught the same way by Ro once or twice.
And you’ve also chosen to go for the poetic glory instead of the solving credit in the past, so at least we all know what the rules are.
Thanks to all who participate in these each week, however you choose to do so. You make all of this fun.

Gee – I forgot!
