Shakeepuddn Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 A brain in a belly and the belly is a box. Open up a door to release the door’s lock. Arm-in-arm rubbing shoulders in the dark, Waiting for the bite, biting back on the bark. Metal in the mouth Mouth out of reach Waiting for the party getting started on the beach. Wheel on a heel The heel doesn't feel This is what you win when you sin with a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Shakeepuddn Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 OK. Time for re-write. Remember folks, riddles can employ a lot of metaphor. A brain in a belly and the belly is a box. Open up the door to release another's lock. Arms-in-arms rubbing shoulders in the dark, Waiting for the fight, biting back on the bark.

0 Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Remember folks, riddles can employ a lot of metaphor. Sounds like a good job in this economy... You haven't left me completely clueless in a while Shakee. I can't even get an incorrect image to gel. The middle parts make me think of chains, sort of, but it doesn't do anything with the rest. So far, I'm at a loss. I don't have time to be consumed by a riddle today... grr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Shakeepuddn Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 All pretty way off the mark here. You guys know me by now; I would never make a riddle where the answer is a particular, overly specific "action" or situation. It can be too vague and not really fair in my opinion. A dog farting in a kennel . . . no. A "fart?" why not? Oh well. I won't give clues because there is enough in the riddle (especially the rewrite) to get you to where the answer lies. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
