Well done everyone ???????????????????

I’m at a loss; I’m in the dark, I really don’t know where to start. Words of two, syllables three, That’s a start to label me. Put me on the spot to show Intention, that is all I know. Look a cigarette in the eye See smoke curl; ask it why. Who or what just begs my name, Where and when may win the game. Yours is not to reason how, But if you do, then name me now.

BAM!!! Outstanding Grayven! That was fast.

All metaphor. I'll accept situation, identity of letters, messenger . . . get one, get it all.

Woof-woof-woof! (in-cor-rect)

Doorbell rings and tension grows Out the door the runner goes. Runs outside and checks the mail Gets the letter, treats with care. Goes back home and waits by door, Time to travel yet some more. Takes the mail far away Gives it to another guy. Gets some letters on the route And hurries back to send these out.

Razz, select either "Reply" from bottom right of post your are replying to, or just Add Reply, at bottom or top right of screen. Select "spoiler" if you are answering and put intro in top part (EX: Maybe it's a) and then your answer in lower part.

Too easy? Hmm. That's relative on this forum. It depends on your intended audience. I didn't get it off the bat and I like to think I'm pretty good at these. Of course, I really hadn't ther time to ponder the riddle too much. Hindsight, I don't think so. The style and conceit used tends to mask the obvious key-words. "Mayhaps" a few too many. Regardless . . . Well done.

Thanks Graven. I don't know how it came to me. I just started writing. Had a huge S-eating grin on my face the whole time. Cheers.

This one will soon become nothing.

Bingo Sexy! (please use spoilers next time)

Nope

HA! Outstanding!

Keep at it. It'll come to you.

“Was it a bomb?” he asked standing over the headless body. “No, you don’t understand,” she replied, looking down at officer Kojak’s bald head, trying desperately not to laugh. “It happened like this, we were all just walking along this here road when all of a sudden a frickin' banana fell from out of the sky and lodged in my friend Russell’s head! It scarred my cat Mr. Whiskers half to death.” “Stupid, chicken-sh!t cat!” squeaked T.M., who then spit at the frightened feline. She shot a disapproving look at T..M. “Don’t be so cruel. Anyway officer, I tried to yank the banana out but it was pretty well stuck in there. Russell said it didn’t hurt a bit. “He was too stupid to even know what ‘hurt’ means!” “Quiet T.M. Well, officer, T.M. over there tried lubing it with grease and slipping it out but that didn’t work either. So we all just sat down and thought about it for awhile. That’s when T.M. lit up a cigarette and Russell asked him to put it out. T.M. being the heartless bastard that he is, flipped the cigarette straight at Russell’s face. Russell ducked and the cigarette landed right next to the banana on his head. At first we all thought it was pretty funny, at least until Russells head went ‘POOF!’ and exploded. That’s the whole story.” “I STILL think it’s funny!” chuckled T.M. The officer stopped writing, took the sucker out of his mouth and looked up at the girl. “O.K. I get the picture. I don’t see any reason to drag this mess out. You two can be on your way. What’s your destination?” “Oh, right now we’re ______________________.

Well, if it runs like a stallion, it has to lope, right? Yeah, a bit easy. Keep at it.

I'm not sure how to rate it. I like it but it pissed me off. I had considered that line much earlier but I just couldn't fit the viper slithering and fangs part or summoning spirits, the latter which totally flew o'er head. To me "it" would summon life, function, not death. Well, sure "sparked" some traffic and brainbusting . . and I guess that's a big plus. I give it four just cause I like tough riddles and because I'm still enamored of your honey bees! Cheers

Unready, I'm glad "somebody" gets the puns and double entendres! Thank you.

Well done Java! Quite right.

A wizard walks a narrow path with magic staff in hand, His journey fraught with danger in a strange and wild land. The stars above shine down intent, his lofty goal to seize No more than but a moment's awe from those who disbelieve. From pole to pole this mage has crossed, oft dancing with delight As beast and brother watch and wait, hushed in fearful fright.
