I can be of high import

Or just a useless sort

A simple little leg

From that, me you can peg

With the line

For life I can be instrumental

Without the line

I am merely ornamental

Very nice riddle

and in retrospect, re-reading the riddle with the answer in mind, it's not creepy, it fits perfectly.

Anyway....good riddle....

original riddle

I can be of high import We agree they can be important, right?

Or just a useless sort But on males, they are useless

A simple little leg

From that, me you can peg The leg separates the X from the Y so we have either XX or XY

With the line

For life I can be instrumental With the line the Y is an X --> female so I am instrumental for life , nursing

Without the line

I am merely ornamental Without it XY --> Male...I am only ornamental
