Well played FatDragon, dead leaves do mutter and grumble
So now you're up, to see if your riddle makes us stumble
So now you're up, to see if your riddle makes us stumble
An illuminator I was never meant to be.
You went that way and I another.
They gave me a clean new jacket
But put hair on you, brother.
You came out smelling fresh and clean
While I got a nice new tint.
We crowded in boxes with our new friends,
Not knowing what that meant.
Once tall, straight, and proud, we're much shorter now.
My jacket is torn and your hair has gone black.
Each day that we work, we grow shorter still.
We think of before and we want to go back.
But those days, like your body, have melted away,
And I've been rubbed off on the page.
So light yourself up in one final display,
Smelling of cedar and sage.
I'll climb on your head and we'll both melt away,
But we won't go gentle, we'll rage.

It's been a long while, it seems you're all stumped,
So maybe it's time that this riddle got bumped.
I ran it by two other guys, they got both in five minutes.
You read that right, my puzzlers; there are two answers in it.
Who is "I"? Who is "you"?
Get them both to answer true.

"You", I figured pretty quick,
A candle with hair for a whick.
"I" took more thinking from this man,
I beleive it to be a wax crayon.

Sir, I cannot tell a lie:
I thought that I was pretty sly,
You saw through my riddle, got the gist,
So now let's see your riddle as the next one on this list.

What is the reason
For this very slow season
Hopefully @jaymosbeershack
Will be able to get us on track
So we can ponder his riddle
As our beer fills out our middle

Many apologies for my delay
Life got busy, my mind got away.
To you this puzzle i present
As my means to repent.
I am a bit rushed
So in the intrest of time
For this quandry
Ill bypass the rhyme.
4 fruits are placed in 4 sealed boxes
An apple, a pear, an orange, and a mango.
123 People are asked to guess which fruit is in each box
At the conclusion 12 people guessed 0 fruits correcly. 43 people guessed 1 fruit correctly. 39 people guess 2 fruits correctly.
How many people guess exactly 3 fruits correctly?

Dan, you are correct. It would be impossible to guess 3 right without also getting the fourth correct. The play is back to the OP

I’ll blame work and a stye
This riddle is going to be cheesy
That’s not a clue to make it easy
When I was a sailor man
I saw a boat filled with people
And then I looked once again
There was not a single person on board
Could they all have fallen on top of their swords
What did I see
Please tell me

I feel the same way at many times.
Three old fashioned bulbs for light
Three switches out of view turn them bright
The switches are all outside the room
You have one chance to divine to whom
Which switch goes to what bulb to thwart the gloom.

Turn one on for minutes: ten.
Flip it off and don't stop then.
Turn on another and enter the room
And you'll find which switch flips whom.
One switch on, one light on.
Two dark bulbs that aren't turned on.
Touch the bulbs; one is hot.
Now you know the answer you sought.

If you're wise, you'll try to keep me.
If economical, you might drive me.
You always want your shoes to do me.
And if your answer doesn't do me, then
I'd suggest you better try again.

Not going to riddle today. Want to tell you about my day
I was bird watching down by a mountain stream earlier today
On the stream I saw a fly swimming and under the fly there was a fish
The fish thought; if this fly goes down six more inches I’ll carch him and eat him
A bear was behind them sitting on the edge of the creek. He says,if the fly goes down six inches and fish comes up to eat him..I’ll eat the fish
Behind the bear stood a hunter
He said, if the fly goes down 6 inches, the fish eats the fly, the bear eats the fish,I’ll shoot the bear
Behind the hunter is a mouse. The mouse says
If the fly goes down six inches, the fish eats the the fly the bear eats the fish and the hunter shoots the bear then I’ll run and startle the hunter
The hunter will drop his Sandwich and I’ll eat it
Behind the mouse there was a cat
The cat thinks
If the fly goes down six inches
The fish eats the fly
The bear eats the fish
The hunter shoots the bear
The mouse eats the sand which and I eat the mouse
So the cat makes a big leap for the mouse but misses and lands in the water
So what is the moral of the story?
When the fly goes down six inches the ***** gets wet

Your fine riddle is tough
And i found the solution rough
I believe the solution is a deal
If I am right the bells will peal
I don't mean to come off sounding gruff,
My appreciation for your guess is real,
But this time 'round you haven't got the stuff.
The answer to the riddle is not 'deal'.

In not ignoring FatDragon your riddle
Still rolling it in my head while playing my fiddle

To keep the train rolling, I offer up a hint:
Three letters, none the same, just one a vowel,
Noun, adjective, and verb, none will come up foul.
Perhaps with those few clues you'll find out what is meant.

"Fit" fits the bill, once I found it was a car
A 'Jazz' it is called, in this land of afar
A small Honda car, won't cost much to run
Maybe the answer to this bit of fun

@Gnomebrewer, you've got it!
The answer to this riddle: Fit.
Since you've dug us out of this pit
It's time for us to match your wit.

Random numbers I think not
This question is a rhyme riddle. And is not a math plot
When, what, and where is sometimes useful
Sometimes that info will not make you a fool.
Some riddles are ridiculously unclear
This is truly one of them my friends here
It will take some history to know
And with it your awareness might grow
So I put forward these numbers again
I do so with a smile and a little chagrin

There was a little window I could see out
And what I saw without a shadow of doubt
An emperor penguin standing royal and stout!
But I walked out of this old wooden hut And was surrounded by white crystalline fog
A short distance away I saw a tied up dead dog
I looked above to the bright bright blue sky
A view made only by God and one you can’t buy
The sun above didn’t go east to west
But around in a circle and never sets
To help with the answer you might ask Scott
I tell you the truth a distraction that’s not
To the riddle there’s four questions to answer
So says my little fallen dog Dasher
Where?
It’s a land that isn’t always nice
A warm day just starts to melt ice
When?
Why does the sun not set but circle around. Does this have a familiar sound?
Specifically Where?
What’s with this dead dog, wood structure and cold fog?
give you a clue tHat could go utterly wrong
Who?
There are fewer and fewer OAEs
I am truly one oh don’t you see

Side note. I did a quick google search for OAE in case you were thinking about that
Booh boo please don’t yet hang up your hat
I’m not a teacher or medical test
Google doesnt always work,
real research is best. (That’s a hint)
