RIDDLE-ME-REES
My first is in tame, but not in wild; My second is in man, but not in child; My third is in mate, but not in friend; My fourth in receive, but not in send; My fifth is in patch, but not in mend; My whole is wood with a magic end. My first is in leaf, but not in twig; My second is in hair, but not in wig; My third is in brown, but not in black; My fourth is in lend, but not in lack; My whole is a good servant, but a bad master. —Peggy Brady, aged 13.
