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.

(Answers on next text)

■Glossary
