I hope you enjoyed this riddle created by me.
It took a lot of energy from my very small brain
I hope you all don't think it was totally lame.
Even If you do I'll try again all the same
Now someone post another, let's continue this game.

This thread and my heart are getting old at the same pace
Time for a riddle that makes both these two race
So put your mind to it, you just got to do it.
Here’s a riddle for you to ponder, let your mind and heart get stronger
This next one is not one of my own but an original from Pappy
At one point this thread made my heart get all sappy.
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?

Back to square one
Hooray for Dan, He is the man
Now on to our chore
I drank far too much to explain the task
and don't want to be a bore
but my mind screams "exactly four", what
8 pints (5 +3) to four quarts would satisfy the score
but Dan speaks of gallons and I'm not sure what to do
but clap and wait...the solution is up to you

Fill the five gallon jug then dump it into the three gallon jug you will have two gallons left in the five gallon jug do this twice and you will have exactly four gallons

Try again.
If it were I trying to settle the score I would first fill the jug of three
Dump it in the jug of five and then do it once more.
This would leave a single gallon left in the jug of three.
Put that in the emptied jug of five and there you almost will be.
Once more with the jug of three into the jug of five and finally at four gallons you will gave arrived

That's no solution.
Where did you keep those two gallons
While you did it again
And not cause any pollution?

blh3d! Congratulations! Your answer brings on a celebration!
The answer you gave is clear and concise
You did it quite well and very nice
Now you know what you have to do
Give us a riddle on which we can stew.

Very well done.
Now it makes sense.
I would have had it myself
If I weren't so dense.
You've proved yourself now.
So bring a new riddle. And show us all how.
Four men sat down to play,
They played all night 'till break of day.
They played for gold and not for fun With separate scores for everyone. When they came to square accounts, They all had made quite fair amounts.
Can you the paradox explain, If no one lost, how could all gain?

I believe I was there to see them play.
They were in a bar not that far away.
They're skills we're so grand I could not help but stand and give a hand.
It was fair to say they'd earned there pay
They were in a band.
I got a riddle for y'all: what has 2 thumbs & loves beer? here's a clue.

If I post a riddle in this thread
does it have to be one that is versed and rhyméd?
(also, can I break up words with "é" like Bill Shakes used to do
or will you frown on me and say, "No, that won't do!"?)
i rhymed do with do.
do-do.
lol

Bring it on my new friend Cahedral
I'm sure your words won't bring on evil
But on this thread it is well said
We generally rhyme an not be dead
No matter how bad our rhyming is
It is what it is and that's our biz
Bring us your riddle bro
And put on a god show

I don't know about putting on a "god" show
that might involve powers I don't know
(I sure hope you had a typo)
I also don't know if this riddle has been said
somewhere in 111 pages of this thread
110 of which I haven't read.
Also it doesn't rhyme.
I am a single word, what am I?
I contain the pronoun of every guy
I contain the pronoun of every girl
I have the masculine of someone to look up to
I have the name of a potent drug
But my final form is that of a woman who is a cut above
I am a single word, what am I?
was I supposed to answer the last one posted first?
If so, chide me, I'm prepared for the worst.

Cathedral welcome to this thread
Your riddle is something very well said
For an answer I don't have one
Me or men and then I'm done
Somebody will figure it out
Then we'll all drink a good stout

I believe it is heroin..
Good job, Cajun Tiger33
although your answer is somewhat short.
so for that I'm going to have to dock you
an imaginary point on the spelling report.
The answer is "heroine"
the difference you can now see
it's a homophone, not a homonym
all because of that little letter "e."
he
her
hero
heroin
heroine

a broom. zoom zooom zoooom!!!
I doubt the validity of that riddle.
I've never heard of a broom having legs.
The handle, the bristles, and that part in the middle
that has threaded holes for the handle pegs.
The only legs a broom might have
are from the witches who use them for transportation;
dangling over the sides; with bristly calves
that are a varicose, wartly abomination.
So I shake my head at you, Billy-Klubb,
and I shake my fist too.
You better come up with a better riddle, bub,
Or I'll... Or I'll... rhyme some more at you.

I don't think I can. all you guys bein' all like wandering minstrels (?right one?) has got my brain all jacked. every time I read some of y'alls nonsensical Dr. Seuss ramblings, my brain turns to warm pudding.
Then I've got a good one
and this ones tough
and it has a logical response
if you think about it enough
A man lives in a tall building
He is a very fat man
It's the penthouse that's his dwelling
As far up as he possibly can
People watch the fat man everyday
ride the elevator all the way down
From penthouse to middle
then down to the ground
But when they watch him come home
and try to go back up high
he does something peculiar
something they can't figure why.
See, when it's sunny, this fat man will stop
halfway up the building
then walk the stairs to the top.
But when it's raining,
for reasons unknown
he will ride it all the way up
he will ride it all the way home.
It isn't for exercise, they all bet
For if it were he wouldn't be so heavyset.
So I riddle you, girl and/or guy,
why?

I like your riddle
and the man with the fat middle
on a rainy day I'd guess he has an umbrella
that is used to push the button for this fella?
I seem to remember a puzzle like this with a short fella
so if I'm wrong what can I tell ya?

Howdy one and all!
Looks like you're having a ball.
Do you mind if I join in,
and give this riddle thing a spin?
I can't pretent that I am profound,
but can vouch my belly is round!
So without further ado,
here is the riddle I promised you:
I spit like bacon, am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone but lack good legs,
I peel like an onion but still remain whole,
I'm long like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole
What am I?

That one was easy,
make no mistake,
you, sire, are a slippery, slithery,
slimy little snake.
You are correct my fellow brewer.
The man is fat but that's not of import.
The reason he does what he does
is because he is short.
On sunny days he cannot reach
to push the penthouse button up on top
but rainy days he carries his umbrella
to smack that button with a tiny pop.
