Before the Rest
When I get there before the rest I get a nice surprise,
But all the rest that follow me see nothing 'fore their eyes,
And though I may be trapped and caught and held there in your palm,
There's another couple of me somewhere else, that you might harm,
For if your aim is true or if you are a lucky shot
With a rock, another pair of me, though dead, is what you've got.
Now fit the clues together and decipher this short quiz,
From the lines of rhyme seen up above tell me what this thing is.
