  History Club Brain Teaser

  My place of birth lies far away
  From where I make my home today
  Where Unknown jack once made his name,
  11 'ladies' brought him fame,

  Of names I have had 3 or 4,
  But my current one defines me more
  My brother marks time for a nation's queens
  Though my sisters sing of fruit it seems

  Namesakes I have of many creeds
  One went to space on a god of speed
  On his return a watery home
  A locker owned by davy jones

  When I reflect upon my past
  I am ashamed to say I cracked
  Two Johns came to my aid that time
  But then I cracked a second time

  When better I sang but sounded wrong
  But, well again I then gave song
  Philip wrote a song for me
  Which then was used by Monty P

  When used with letters I proclaim
  That even old I'll work the same
  I can't be beaten, for you I'll stick
  Do you know my name? or are you licked?
