I’m a place for a boat you would merrily row;
To watch TV online without saving the show;
How a stray beam of light in the darkness can glow;
A prevailing direction; or tears as they flow.

Who am I?

For portraying Mike Brady, I’m fairly well-known;
But I’m also the actress who played Donna Stone;
I’m a straight stalk of grass in the fields where I’m grown;
And a thin strip of cane that gives woodwinds their tone.

Who am I?

I’m a pillar of stone that is bearing some weight;
I exist in Excel; while in Word, you create;
Writer’s work run in print at a regular rate;
And a thin strip of soldiers all trained to march straight.

Who am I?

My soul belongs to God, I know;
I made that bargain long ago;
He gave me hope when hope was gone;
He gave me strength to journey on.

Who am I? Who am I?

I’m the signal encoding a transmission cloaks;
The dispatching of jets an incursion provokes;
I am stirring a pan, mixing egg whites and yolks;
And a run that a quarterback quickly invokes.

Who am I?

I’m instructing a dog in performing a trick;
I’m to practice your skills so responses will stick;
I’m the ride on the railroad, where travel is quick;
And the tail of a dress that a bride likes to pick.

Who am I?

I’m a primitive home; I’m an underground mine;
The collapsing of stone; to surrender supine;
Allegorical site of Platonic design;
I’m a man’s private space; and a place to store wine.

Who am I?

I am matching a bet; I’m the pool shot you tell;
To invite to the stand; to connect on your cell;
I’m an option to buy where the seller must sell;
And the song of a bird; or a human’s loud yell.

Who am I?

I’m the stick on a tent that will hold down its frame;
I am marking a property showing your claim;
I’m a vampire’s fear; what’s at risk in a game;
And a place to support execution by flame.

Who am I?

I am Yogi; I’m Smokey; I’m Winnie the Pooh;
I am offering witness; a hug that is true;
Carry weapons or gifts; I’m to just muddle through;
I’m producing a fruit; and an infant babe, too!

Who am I?
