0 Guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 wow......good riddle! well done chicory! but could you please explain it? it would make things easier..... I am such a little thing That people ignore me -- when one is busy, caring for one's nails is the first thing to go; many times I have forgotten to get enough nails for something I was working on Until the day destruction comes, And they wince painfully. -- ever broken a nail, or torn it off, or gotten a hangnail, or had a nail come out of a project and made your whole structure come apart? Women measure wealth by me, -- manicure/pedicure; wealthy women take pride in having nice nails Men, too, if they are wise; After all, when I’m not there, I topple royal ties. -- "For want of a nail. . . the kingdom was lost."

Question
Guest
I am such a little thing
That people ignore me
Until the day destruction comes,
And they wince painfully.
Women measure wealth by me,
Men, too, if they are wise;
After all, when I’m not there,
I topple royal ties.
I can't tell if this is easy or not; after all, I know the answer. Anyhow, have fun with it!
