I offer four stanzas for the pondering; defining four items of like relation.
A jumble of clues define those four things, I pray they don’t elicit too much vexation.

Prosperity or richness or a warrior king; some things of which this county’s name might make you think
Add to this a thirst for some honey wine; a sweet alcoholic drink.

Connect by phone, create a manifest, and to pull an object along behind;
These three clues united should suffice and now the second item’s been defined.

For the third: Referencing myself, to be indebted; or two words admitting debts to be paid

Days long past, corded hemp and your dear old dad; three final clues for the last item, I’m afraid

Yes, the 2nd part of the 1st item is mead. :clap:

Ah. I wouldn't have gotten that.

I chose the "warrior king" reference specifically because if you type "Country whose name means warrior king" into Google, Ghana comes right up. I mean, who the hell is gonna know that? Ghana means richness and prosperity too but those clues are even more esoteric. I like to think my riddles are fair. ;)

Europa, not Europe. Both were named after the same woman in Greek mythology.

There's a Greek woman in Europe??

So...Europe has it's own moon now?

That damned EU sure works fast!



I owe I owe...it's off to work I go!


(Hey, how many moon jokes can I fit into one thread?)
