    Riddles!

    What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening . . . ?

    No, really. I hope there isn't already a thread like this. But here's the game: two people compose riddles, of any length, structure, or difficulty - they must be orginal, however, and not too easy! - and the rest can try and guess the answers. The first person who solves whichever riddle gets to write and post their own. We can also do this with only one riddle at a time, if you'd like; but it might be a bit more fun with two! You can only guess once a day (well, two guesses a day, one for each riddle) so think carefully before posting!

    If anybody has suggestions or modifications that they'd like to make, go right ahead and I'll consider, since I'm not very experienced at making up games .

    Here is the first riddle - the first person who gets in a post with a second can be the other riddler for this turn! (And kiz paws is not allowed to answer, since she already got it right in my blog!! )


    I am so small
    That when I grow
    I take your breath away
    I'm often benched
    Or bitten;
    Exploding me is okay

    Used hard
    Or hardly used at all
    Ten minutes or a day
    I might taste good
    But don't eat me!
    Who am I here portrayed?

    Happy riddling!
    No day but today

    Oops, sorry - both stanzas were part of one riddle. And no, it's still up there! Nice guesses, though, pussnboots.

    Yep

    Now Scher gets to post another riddle . . . if you want to do this with two, like I was thinking in the rules above, why don't you put one up also, puss?

    Yay!

    OK, here we go! Something very quick.

    Take a certain black car
    And any fur of mess
    You wouldn't believe
    What you have is such a big success.

    Dark and slim
    Shining under the red covers
    Waiting to please
    More than best of lovers.

    If it's worth complaining about, it's completely worth doing yourself!

    Oh Scher! did you just do up a riddle about kit kats?
    "Come away O human child!To the waters of the wild, With a faery hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand."
    W.B.Yeats

    No, I meant what else would I write about (if not KitKats)?

    It's not exactly like this way of riddling, but here's a more traditional one if someone wants to add to it.
    Ningún hombre llega a ser lo que es por lo que escribe, sino por lo que lee.
    - Jorge Luis Borges
