    Yet, again we have an answer fast
    We need one difficult to make it last
    Certainly Dan had one brewing
    What are the rest of us doing?

    ‘Twas one quite evening here on Home Brew Talk all around
    Even Revvy was silent; Irish porn star twins might be in town
    Not a whole lot was stirring some were out of their house.
    While computers were waiting the slight touch of their mouse

    Yooper in her ‘kerchief, and Bob in his cap,
    Had just drunk a homebrew and were taking a nap
    TxBrew Der Moderator was messing around
    With network stuff it’s to a life he is bound

    Our children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While our visions wrestled with something else instead.

    When upon my computer screen there came a mad hatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    To my favorite computer chair I flew like a flash,
    Hit the mouse slowly like conversions happen in mash

    The heft of my wife’s breasts seen in the monitor’s soft glow
    Gave luster to buster get back to bed don’t you know...
    When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    A thread, “Anybody up for a Riddle” posted here.

    With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment it must be a trick.
    More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

    Now LabRatBrewer, lschiavo, and Emjay!
    You all know we just come here to play
    On WildGingerBrewing, On Passedpawn, On Clifton!
    Don’t know about you but I’m doing some sipp’n
    TyTanium, Bottlebomber, The Bird, and Mr Jgln!
    GilaMinumBeer and HawksBrewer what song are we sing’n

    To all of the many great people who post here
    With a thankful heart I give you a cheer
    But my crappy words and sappy lines
    Is not why you come here answering rhymes

    So with all that said my promise not yet kept
    Believe it or not this takes all of my depth
    Still stalling for time feel like a wall ahead
    Should just start thinking or maybe drinking instead.

    … To be continued (when my brain starts to work again)

    Dan has inspired once again
    Me to attempt a riddle gem
    Your poem above is wonderfully written
    I must admit I'm a little smitten
    So now without further adieu
    I will attempt to amuse all of you

    There were two Presidents, 22nd and 24th
    That have the same parents, probably from the north
    If you are a histroy buff, this answer will come with ease
    But don't spoil it for the rest, this one is the bee's knees
    So how is this possible? I must ask you all
    This one is fun, let's have a ball!

    :off: ?maybe :confused:
    The season is starting, so yes lets have a ball
    The team in Ohio will win it all ;)

    To clear any confusion i may have caused
    The riddle is about the presidents. Pause.
    They are not siblings, yet they both have
    The same parents. Lets all have a laugh.

    Ohio team to score the most goals?
    I just dropped the browns of at the super bowl!
    I am from texas though dont you know
    The champion, you see, will be named Romo
    If its college you seek then lets have a nooner
    The winner's OU, lets go, Boomer Sooner!

    One president's career is most worthy of note
    For his failure to capture a reinaugural vote
    Though he didn't do much in office is true,
    Grover Cleveland was both 24 & 22.

    I once went to China (this story is true),
    I wanted some ping pong (and Tsingtau too)

    The attendant denied my entrance quite quickly.
    and wrote this explanation on a notepad for me.

    ISSUES ISSUES
    ISSUES ISSUES
    ISSUES ISSUES
    ISSUES ISSUES
    ISSUES ISSUES

    So tell me my friends, and please use some tact,
    what thing was that chinaman saying I lacked?

    Leftcontact you are correct
    And your rhyming was nice, this is a fact
    I found that riddle to be quite informative
    History was never my top perogative

    And to passedpawn i must write a note
    The answer is simple for a smart bloke
    But alas i will give someone else a chance
    To answer your rhyme, maybe someone named lance

    And since i am sitting in the stonebriar mall
    I must bid farewell to one and all!

    So, that team from Ohio where to they play?
    CLEVELAND, or so they say
    My answer was coy so as not to be too quick
    In reality the Browns make make sick (GO Chargers!)

    To passed pawn I say en passant
    This one took a good deal of thought
    Though I know why you were rebuffed by this chink (sorry, it rhymed)
    Alas at riddles I'm a worse source than sink
    So though this answer I'll have to let go
    I'll note You seem to have more issues than BYO.

    I love that. Thanks. I do love the game. Second time I've gotten that comment on this forum.

    [edit] I keep forgetting to rhyme. Must maintain the decorum.

    Going to China,
    They'll always dismiss you.
    Especially without
    your Ten Issues.

    Yep, Tennis Shoes. They really turned me away from the table tennis arena because of improper footwear. Heh.

    If you toss me from the window,
    I will leave a crying wife.
    Bring me back, but in the door, and
    You'll see one giving life!

    You suck.
    You're riddles are tough.
    I've thought and I've thought.
    I've now had enough.

    I posted a few that were without rhyme.
    I'm punishing myself right now with a bud lime. (not really)

    but then I saw it, and it gave some more

    I always liked how you answer a riddle with a puzzle.
    You never say it outright.
    It's just a nudge with your muzzle.
    If we were both gay, I bet we could snuggle.

    Hey Ischavio good to see you too
    I'm just sitting here sippin a brew
    Been following some of these rhymes tonight
    PassedPawn's are ones that get me uptight
    What a brain on that man and LabRatBrewer too
    And as far as that goes I give Ischavio his due
    Right now working on LRBs simple riddle
    I've answered it before but it's now hard as a fiddle
    To play.. I just got to say.
    Glad you're back from wherever you were at
    Time now to put our minds up to task

    I cannot blame you for you're not to blame.
    Every day it's always just the same.
    All I ever remove are bills.
    It's such a dirty shame.

    Any drunken idiot would get that one (except Dan...popcorn sheesh;)
    And it was only posted for fun.
    Now I'm out of beer and hence out of here.
    If I see you guys coming I'll run.

    The last was the best I could do.
    I sure hate to disappoint you.
    But, what would you do when you ran out of brew?
    I'll be back better prepared so don't stew.
