My question disapeared so here is it again: Is the author from US?Originally Posted by Pompey Bum
And he's gone. People don't even read the thread.
Okay, under the circumstances, in the interests of furthering Danik's game, and because I already knew the previous answer was Mark Twain ("mark twain " is a measurement on a sounding plumb), I will usurp Ennison's position as Riddler. (I'll pay him back later if he wants).
Well loved taxman of days gone past;
Play with fire and you'll get these fast.
That's the hint. Remember you don't have to know right away. You're just supposed to ask questions. For now, let's say they have to be yes/no questions.

Apparently no is too short an answer, so I will simply respond in the negative.
Lol. Any relation to biblical times?

Negative.
Mathew is still my only guess. Well, IŽll have now to be off for a while now. Hopefully some else chimes in. If not, donŽt worry PB. Some of this riddles go on for days.

No, as I said, this is not a Biblical author (although you are right that Matthew is supposed to have been a tax collector).
Okay, come on the rest of you. This one is easy. But remember you don't need to know the answer. Just ask a (yes/no) question.

There is this novel The Taxman Cometh, but the author is American.
So, is the author from an English speaking country?

Good question! Yes.
I'm still in the dark but maybe one of our poet hunters can help.

Of course it's Burns. What do you think you get if you play with fire, hickies?
Good job, tailor. Your turn!
Congrats, tailor! I would never have guessed it, being not familar with his poetry!
Now hoping for your riddle.
