Note: The answer to the following 4 riddles is the same.
q #2a.
In your mind’s eye envision that you see Bigfoot,
and now change his hair color from brown to red.
Sit him in front of a computer, and let him code;
Rather than Sasquatch, you described me instead!
q #2b.
I overhear your conversations,
At least the last phrase or two.
I always go with the answer…
Of the one whom is not you!
q #2c.
I’ll protect you in battle,
I’m your shining armor guitar.
I’ll take the heat when it’s time,
I stand up for who you are.
q #2d.
I get wrapped up in a lot of meetings,
Much more than I used to back when.
They can take my time and effort,
But they can’t take the Coder within!
a. Dan Mohl
