:rose:
We're five little items who stand in a line;
The first is the fourth, then add ten to a nine
For the second; the third is the fifth, and the fourth
Is the eighteenth, and then trek from south back to north
for the fifth--which is first, and the whole is a day
full of anger; the last which will soon come your way.
(Hope this is easier than my Winnie-the-Pooh one--but still challenging enough to be fun!)

I hope it wasn't on this riddle.... :P
Seriously, this one's easy (at least compared to the Winnie-the-Pooh one), I promise.

I tried substituting for letters and got "DSERA", which I am sure means nothing.
From the title and the last line I feel it must have something to do with death.
So far...stumped.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!
It DOES mean something, if you can dope out the way.... :D
What is it with J&Y and dope?

I'm a dope, all right? :blush: Sue me.
Anyway, so BROWNING'S CHILDE has got "D S E R A", what can you glean from that?

a day full of anger...
Is it the Dies Irae? Which is what the letters sound like when you say them in order...

BINGO!! :D
The goose goes to Maturins_Daughter, with heaping portions for BROWNING'S CHILDE!
Sorry this didn't go on for longer, but at least this time the answer was guessed!
