Brain teaser：What am ''I'' ?
【明報專訊】Looking like a coin,
I can't buy you anything.
A frequent visitor to certain school events you might join,
I only have honour and respect to bring.
I'm not useful when people get married,
Cos I don't look like a ring.
My species comes in types that are varied,
People wearing us would have an anthem to sing.
Older people say I look like a bottle cap,
When I'm awarded by the king.
I might help put you on the map,
As normally people won't get a string.
Bill the competitor is on a golf course,
Where he is practising on his swing.
To earn me: don't play it by brute force,
Or else your career won't take wing.
