I am never quite what I appear to be.
Straight-forward I seem, but it's only skin deep,
for mystery most often lies beneath my simple speech.
Sharpen your wits, open your eyes, look beyond my exteriors,
read me backwards, forwards, upside down. Think critically
and answer the question...what am I?

How appropriate!
You are a riddle
This is one of my favourites....
Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.
