I’m an animal friend; and the love they receive;
I’m an unproven theory you strongly believe;
I’m a personal project; or personal peeve;
And the best kid in class (as the teachers perceive).

Who am I?

I’m the monthly insurance fee check you inscribe;
I’m the label high gasoline octanes describe;
I’m the crackers you crush in the soup you imbibe;
And the pay TV channels that make you subscribe.

Who am I?

I’m the code to launch missions; the start of a race;
I’m an old Chinese board game; Monopoly space;
I am “All Systems” ready, as called on the base;
I’m for clothing to match; and to move to a place.

Who am I?

I’m a book when assembled with cover and glue;
To be tied to what contracts compel you to do;
I am moving by leaps; the Wachowskis’ debut;
And the limit where functions cannot venture to.

Who am I?

I’m a check from the bank, if you won’t trust the debtor;
Conscription in service; composing a letter;
One version of writing; the beer that tastes better;
And cold air you feel as you reach for your sweater.

Who am I?

I’m a ball hit by Tiger, but also by Ashe;
I am genius or luck when it’s merely a dash;
When a swimmer or rower propels with a splash;
Or an illness from heat, with exhaustion or rash.

I’m the move when you pensively rub your mustache;
I’m a blood-starved infarction; a lightning bolt flash;
I’m to flatter an ego; calligraphy slash;
And one pass when applying mascara to lash.

Who am I?

I’m to copy a sketch; find the source of a call;
To have golfing technology tracking your ball;
An amount in a substance, exceedingly small;
And the evidence left, or you’ve no clue at all.

Who am I?

I filmed Great Expectations and Oliver Twist;
I’m the years that are poor, where you barely subsist;
I’m a posture to sit from the Passover list;
And the meat that Jack Sprat ate, his wife would resist.

Who am I?

I’m the time that a soldier will spend on one base;
When a band or a troupe will perform place to place;
I’m to follow a guide in exploring a space;
And held yearly in France, I’m a bicycle race.

Who am I?

I’m a fruit-flavored drink that is served in a bowl;
I’m to hit with a fist; I’m a puppet-show role;
I’m to press in your PIN number; making a hole;
And you’ll be pleased as me when you’re reaching your goal!

Who am I?
