0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 tongue? Espianne welcome to the group! YOU'VE GOT IT! Why do you say probably not? It works in every clue - let me know if something stumps you. In not, put your explanation in a spoiler for those who are done thinking. The rest of you, this is an end of day riddle, light and easy. Figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 yeah it's pretty. but requires previous specific rather then common knowledge so not simple. and "strong men"? "mad man"? doesn't work. most miners were STRONG men since they had to hit the rock with the pick axes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 me too. I'm hung up on the cave...this is the closest representation. Well, where does it reside? mouth, ... cave, ... I think it fits all parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 most miners were STRONG men since they had to hit the rock with the pick axes. yeah but why do they "serve a mad man best", even if I say so in jest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please clarify? Funny, I always subconsciously choose one part of your riddles to run wild with, as my starting point for finding my answers. It's always the part I should NOT be starting with. I should learn to watch out for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 i think (think means not knowing) it is light.http://brainden.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif It's not. why would strong men keep it well? And please put your answers (just when you offer a guess) in a spoiler - left side of text box when you type so it you do get it, you don't spoil it for everyone still trying to guess.

0 Guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 well, why can't they? how could you keep light? and why would you need to be strong to do it? You tell me. and the rest of the riddle - serves mad man best? How do you figure that? so nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Memory or intelligence? nice. I see where you'd get it. but "often grown" as in not always, when it takes flight? would be taking it lightly. something else fits better.

Question
Guest
Ok boys and girls, for all of you still up and running, here's a light one for good night
I look forward to the answer in the morning
In a cave they make me dwell
And strong men learn to keep me well
Though I am source of much delight
They often frown when I take flight
I do say this bit in jest, I feel I serve a mad man best
