riddle me ...

---

To be spoken (either in person, or via recording):

---

      . Some use me to say

these things aren't weighty.

      . And though not today,

if you were eighty,

I meant to get on

(though that's not true now),

on buses, or trains,

trams, coaches - somehow.

      . I'm used to describe

a mood that's got bright,

      . or colours beside,

- the metaphore's right.

      . When I come on board

big enemies run.

Can't eas'ly be stored,

my movement's not "done";

for , like machine gun,

or breakers at sea

my movement's not stunned.

     This word say to me!
