the bird's wordplay is
like watching helen keller
in a marching band

wait is this not the haiku thread?
 
The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

To GilaMinumBeer
I see what you did here!
You are the winner
that's certainly clear!
:ban: :ban: :ban:
 
I just caught up on reading this thread.
There is so much clever lunacy here that’s been said!
Great passion, enthusiasm, lets just say ardor. ;)
The puzzles are getting, quite a bit harder

You guys are brilliant, And super resilient!

and I don’t have a chance……
laughed so hard nearly peed my pants!

The genius and insanity here, is very clear
Next puzzle on me, I hope you find it dear.

When I was a teen I bailed hay for a farmer.
And his teenage daughter was really a charmer! :D
But that’s a separate story you know,
Those are different fields to be sowed!

The farmer had two fields in which I bailed hay that week.
When I was finished he came over to speak.
He said son, your work is not done
And I have one more task before you relax.

You see those fifty bails in one field and sixty in the other
I want them combined in the center field brother.
So, after my labor was finished,
How many haystacks did I tell my mother? :mug:
 
Bam!! You nailed that one KurtB!

And dam quick, it took me forever to write! :p

And don't you go worrying about rhyming
It will make you insane, it's all about timing.
So you're the winner of this one
Would you like to post a puzzle
for a little fun?

Once again you don't have to rhyme
Just have a good time. :mug:
 
I'll have a go.

I went to the field and I got it. I brought it back home in my hand because I couldn't find it. What is it?
 
Wow! That's a tough one Clifton!
Not ignoring your post
Just trying to come up with sumpton.

Okay, work with me here :eek:

I'm not even going to try rhyming.. it clouds my cerebal timing

Let me get this straight you went to the field with a task,

But once you got there no longer an ask?

So what you brought home you had been holding all along

In your hand was some tool to do the work planned

But never used, the plan had been mused?

I have no freaking idea

But there's plenty of folk

Who will put an answer

to this mind boggling post.
 
Splinter Passepawn?

That is the answer?

Hmmm..

Looks like Cliftons offline

And left us dying on the vine.

So how do you know?

Please explain your thinking

My minds turning into snow.
 
It's starting to get a bit late

And this rhyming and riddling,

doesn't keep my head on straight!

But maybe it does a little...

If not for this I'd probably eat Skittles.

Wow right now my words are getting lousy!

I can see why poets become pretty clownsy.

One thing I like about this creative outlet,

I can make up words, and no body cares about it! :D
 
I came here for fun.
All of that is done.

I've had a few beers.
I offer to all "Cheers"

I hate Henry!
He is my worst enemy.

So I offer you this.
I'm off to piss.

Henry was out walking one day. He met his father-in-law's only daughter's mother-in-law. What did Henry call her?

This man's riddle
is driving me nuts
I hope the OP is not a clutz (j/k Clifton)

We should put our heads together
PassedPawn who is gifted with innate depthness
Said "Splinter"
And he's nobody's fool

Still sitting here upon my stooll
His answer is not making me drool
There are some times I wish
I hadn't started this thread
But it will not make me dead

But it does give some insight
To brains who are quite bright
On this HBT thread
Today and tonight.

Okay. The pressure is killing me not having an answer
So here is one that might remove the cancer...

Why did I use that word twice in two different rhymes?
Believe me for the patient, family and friends it's a terrible time.

Let get back on track
maybe just give this another whack.

I don't know about you but the previous puzzle
Has me slamming down beer guzzle after guzzle
Not exactly true but made a good rhyme,
While my brain is working overtime!

Here is the filling in riddle
It's as easy as picking up a fiddle.

I have many eyes but cannot see.
I have no mouth or nose, but always smell.
Do not eat my tree or you will be,
a very rare fatality

Haven't looked at the post ahead

I'm posting before reading all the replies

But that's the same answer I came up with

I hope you're words are especially well said

and hope you won this riddle,

it's another great one on this thread.

To my friend Ischiavo
I'm not sure what to say
Is that a rhyme
Or riddle put your own way?

But I'm really tired my friend
Been rhyming for hours
I'm not trying to stray

But soon should go to bed
or at least give my mind a break
Not ignoring your post
Should just go to bed for my sake

You mentioned Yooper
She a great person

I invited her once to a thead i had made
A lot of rhyming words made it great
I said a little tribute to her there
And she said back to me poems aren't quite her chair

Yoop is a pretty great gal
If she weren't she wouldnt be my pal

Then again that not exactly right
But with out Yoop here
This HBT sight
Just wouldn't be right


I have no idea if I'm making sense now
I need to go get to sleep in the barn with the cows! :D

I might not get off from this sight right away
But believe it or not
this trying to be a poet
which I am definitely not
Racks the hale out of my brain
It is a bit of a strain

You wouldn't know it
the way I go on here
But really have to say goodnight
Very cheerfully now
I need to hook up with those old dumb cows. :D

"Yooper" is a wonderful specimen.
We are not all men.

The U.P. (upper peninsula) of Michigan is the "yoo-pee"
What? pee? Be right back...

Yoopers comes from that...I guess.
We need names or all would be a mess.

I'm proud to be a yooper.
Now to find the pooper...

I'm off to bed
In the morning, this may be read...

About my dear friend Moto, there's something not right
With every word that he speaks, he starts a fight
I think there's some trauma, that keeps him up at night
Perhaps his brain is too small, or his panties too tight.

Don't sweat it, my friend,
It was all just pretend.

Like a bug in the hay or the fish in the ocean,
I prattle my day quite devoid of emotion.

My insistence, you see, was all about the "teehee".
But made more sense to my noggin than your corn on the cob'n.
 
Sorry for the delay in answering.
Passedpawn guessed the right thing.

Spinter.
Winner.
 
Yay I love riddles! I have one for you... it seems daunting but take your time and use a bit of logic. It's not too hard.


• There are 5 houses that are each a different colour.
• There is a person of a different nationality in each house.
• The 5 owners drink a certain drink. They each smoke a certain brand of cigarettes and also have a certain pet. No owner has the same pet, smokes the same brand of cigarettes nor drinks the same drink.
• The question is. “Who has the fish?”

CLUES

1. The British man lives in the red house.
2. The Swedish man has a dog for a pet.
3. The Danish man drinks tea.
4. The green house is to the left of the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6. The person that smokes Pall Mall has a bird.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The person that lives in the middle house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The person that smokes Blend, lives next to the one that has a cat.
11. The person that has a horse lives next to the one that smokes Dunhill.
12. The one that smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to a blue house.
15. The person that smokes Blend, has a neighbour that drinks water.

GOOD LUCK!!!

A tough one for me, as I'm a geographical idiot.
But the trend that I'm seein', is they are all European.
So to answer this question, with a guess of reflection,
I would surmise it to say "Some guy far away",
In a house round the corner, or at the end of the 'sac.
And the clues that you use, are to confuse and distract.
 
A simple graph was useful here
To find out who drinks the beer.
Who owns the fish, his name is Herman
He's a coffee drinker with a heritage of GERMAN

Molly was a brewer's wife, as faithful as the sun,
Brewer Bob, an abusive man, was Molly's mean husband.

Brewer Bob used black clay jugs to measure his brewing water,
and Bob demanded precision during mash and boil and lauter.

One day Bob sent poor Molly to the well across the moor,
"Lower down these jugs, my wife, and bring back exactly four."

Four gallons seemed a simple task, and Molly left with glee,
until she saw the jugs she took held exactly five and three.

5 gallons rich holds one jug, the other 3 gallons poor,
How will Molly return to Bob with exactly four?

The answer to my eye is clear and bright as is the sun.
She fills both jugs just half the way and dumps them in the tun.

Dump three into the five. Refill 3 and dump into the five until the 5 is full (1 left in the 3). Dump out the five. Fill the five with the 1 left in the three, and add three more to the 5.

Die Hard III for the win! :p
 
Like this (highlight to see):
5-3=2 Fill the 5, dump into the 3, leaving 2g left in the 5
3-3=0+2=2 Dump the 3, add the 2g to the 3
5-(3-2) = 4 Fill the 5 again, then dump to fill the 3, leaving 4g left in the 5
___________

Looks like 2 answers we have to the one with the fish
Is a single-answered riddle too much to wish?

Molly can't see the fluid - the jugs are black as oil.
Full or empty are the only options for our girl.

[er, I mean wrong :), halfway doesn't work with opaque jugs that get lowered into a well. ]
