0 tiger_lily111 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'll bump this in case there is interest. (& sincere apologies, I didn't realize I had an open riddle remaining.) Not one of my better offerings, so also a bit of a re-write: I'm neither ugly nor watched by children But fall afoul of my salty attitude and enjoy my crusty skin Though I could sound a bit crazy, I'm not a fraud Especially while moving Get off my lawn, it's dinnertime Hope to check in on the Den now and again.

0 peace*out Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Oh my goodness!! Hello! I love the revival of a 2013 riddle, bring it on! I'm going to post the two poems back to back just for comparisons sake: I'm neither ugly nor watched by foolsBut my salty attitude could get under your skin& I could sound a bit crazyEspecially while movingGet off my lawn I'm neither ugly nor watched by children But fall afoul of my salty attitude and enjoy my crusty skin Though I could sound a bit crazy, I'm not a fraud Especially while moving Get off my lawn, it's dinnertime Initial thoughts: Spoiler While my thoughts initially jumped to something like a sailor or a witch, I feel like it might actually be food/diet related due to "not watched by children/fools" and "salty/crusty" and "dinnertime." "sound a bit crazy" could be a reference to bananas, but the rest of the rhyme doesn't fit, and "while moving" doesn't really apply here... I'm going to guess a crab. > salty attitude & crusty skin --> crustacean > could sound a bit crazy / get off my lawn --> "crabby"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're onto the right general idea after your initial thoughts, but this guess is boiled. (& hopefully picked & dipped in butter.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
