0 Guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Rugby players?Thanks, Lotus. Interesting answers, but they don't wear headgear or like you said pay bills. Edit: interestingly enough, this was my first though upon reading "headgear." and the last line, also. Edited May 16, 2009 by lotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Like boxing, or something of this nature, I'm pretty sure wears head gear, or used to anyway. i don't know the fighting industry well enough to take an educated guess.Great riddle, as always, plasmid.

0 plasmid Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 That riddle was awesome plasmid. Thanks, I really like playing around with the poetic meter. I've modeled mine on Shakeepuddn's style; he hasn't been posting much recently (not since you've joined BrainDen I think) but if you look through the older posts he's got a ton of good ones back there.

Oh, shakeepuddn's the KING of riddle writing. He has always been the BIGGEST inspiration for my riddles. But, none of mine even come close.

Question
plasmid
We'll float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
And leave you suckers black and blue
Though when we're in action we usually bleed
That's who we are, that's what we do
We do it for kicks and we do it for thrills
When boredom makes you lose your mind
But mostly we do it to pay off the bills
We hope that you can read the sign
Now give us our headgear or give us a punch
So we can hang around with you
You'd best wear protection alongside our bunch
Although you might be called a prude
