Anybody up for a riddle?

I make widows of those who suffer the fall
for them it's like a man in the mall
during Christmas without any reason
though not a holiday 'tis still the season
only adults can play in my pool
showing silly pride for the name of their school

 

Tis the season when the weather cools down
Sweat shirts adorned in my little town
It's time for jeans and weiner roasts
For friends and family I like that most
For this there's a reason
It's football season

 

That was my first original one
I liked the first line
but perhaps it wasn't clever enough to be fun

 

I am against all odds, you sods
I am the tale of the whale
The tip of an anchor squishin' a fish n'
A flat worm that tries to squirm

 

Wow! A great one LRB!
This one will take some synergy

 

You guys are too funny,
Or maybe I'm just a dummy.
If I cannot find the question,
How am I supposed to make a suggestion?

Your rhymes send my eyes spinning
And are causing my hair to start thinning.

Even still,
I will not give up!
I have the will,
And this thread fills my cup!
I seek the thrill,
Of you giving my answers a thumbs up!

I feel this thread is giving my brain cells slight impunity.
So while I wait for my opportunity,
I hope to continue to read some more fancy.... rhymes...

Now I must sit back and watch silently,
Because as I said, I am out of my league.

 

If I'm not sick, the first two lines sound like Moby Dick.
And the rest could maybe fit...

Aside from that spew, I really don't get it.
It's possible that LRB is the best riddler yet.

 

For the answer you might
Listen up (but
Use your sight)
Keep your eyes near the margin of
Each sentence I write

 

Its probably just a bad puzzle
The answer is a word with multiple meanings
that fits each line your a seeing
I hope I don't get muzzle'd

to be fair...tale should be tail

 

Passedpawn has it in a clever way
His answer has brightened my day

 

Makes sense now.
That word crossed my mind but it didn't connect somehow.

You, PP are a smart man.
Right up there with Dan

 

Ha ha Ischavio you must know
PassedPawn is a pro quarterback
I'm a HS bench warmer hack
We're in different leagues, quiet easy to see

 

I have four wings, but cannot fly
I never laugh and never cry
On the same spot I'm always found
tolling away with little sound
What am I?

 

I doubt it's right but I need to play
Is a maxi pad on this dreary day?

 

No it's not maxi pad
But that's not bad
Maybe this will put some wind in your sails
You can use an ale pale as a base for your mill.

 

Well Dan, my good man You gave it away
A windmill I guess With water would spray
A nice lovely mist Right into your eyes
As you look longingly Into the skies

A great pick, a Maxi pad I think
Just too bad it would probably stink!

 

It was very clever and I am impressed.
At the end I will post an original.
Be kind, I did my best...

H-ost, It's good to see you here.
You are NOT out of your league have no fear.
There are some smart fellers here no doubt.
And so far they have not even kicked me out

That's a give-away for anyone with half a mind.
I think Dan hates to see anyone suffer.
That post proves that he is very kind

Yuck! lets change the subject.
Let's think instead of a field of fresh ones a foot thick.
At the edge, a keg of the best homebrew ever.
Therein, we will all run, jump, drink and frolic...forever!


So here's my homebrewed riddle (excuse the lack of rhyme...I couldn't afford the extra time) :

I went in the woods and I got it.
Many also get it in big cities.
As hard as I try, I can’t get it in my backyard.
Kids get it easy but it’s harder for adults.

 

I got it many times, especially when I was sauced.

 

I don't know what to say
Sometimes i think i have it
But i cant find a way

 

In the pumpkin patch, when the fruit was capped with frost.

 

700 posts?
we should toast!

 

And Oh! I got it once in Japan when my North and South got crossed.

 

Someone please help me out
I have no clue what this previous ones about
As it is now bedtime
Maybe tomorrow I'll have a better rhyme

Goodnite to all and to all a goodnite!

 

I think Passedpawn and I were just lost
and it was also the hidden answer that was tossed.

 

I was the first to die
But now even odds I'll be the last alive
Backwards, you heard,"Cranberry Sauce"
But the Walrus was lost
I paid an arm and a leg
To get laid by a peg
And nobody sings
My songs on wings

 

Please excuse the bellated rhyme you may see,
But did you imply Paul mccartney?

 

You can't just come back and add a line.
Take you're time and before you post, make it rhyme

 

Yeah, you guys tore my riddle apart.
Oops, was that me? Or did someone else FART?

The real fun here is drunken poems.
If I had them I could read tomes!

 

I'm very happy to see this thread doing well and feel pretty crappy that I might crash (in not a good way) the party.. Please feel free to kick me out and continue on.. Seriously.

I have mixed feelings about what I'm going to post. Obviously I didnt' write it in the few minutes it took me to post.

I'm going for broke. Hope you guys forgive me. Right now you're about the closest friends I have.

This is a sincere post to the poetic genius’s who post on the "Anybody up for a Riddle?" thread and to all the good people on HBT.

To my rhyming riddling friends:

This is not a riddle or rhyme, more like a rant, no not a rant. I don't know the word for it.. A confession (?) I don't know?

For me a chance to breath again and tell you something about me and the last 14 months.

The HBT community's friendship and kinship have helped me
In many more ways than you know or might see

A while ago, it's been nearly a year and a half
I was falsely accused of something; it was felony charges if you ask

Seems in this anonymous internet web
Maybe something’s are easier said

But that's not where I am tonight
Cause justice has prevailed and I'm feeling alright
Dear law thank you for our legal rights
Otherwise I'd be behind prison bars tonight

A man is innocent until proven guilty
That’s only a half truth cause if you have no money for bond
You'll being sucking up water from a prison pond.

Today is a new life for me and my family
The last fourteen months, more going on than I show
I'm just telling the truth to you bro's

All of my life I've lived by one rule
Don't judge others; it's pretty cool
So why did I tell you anything at all?
Today at 5:27 PM. My life has changed and I am in awe
Because truth has prevailed and justice for all.

Just want to forget this trying time and appreciate my family and our lives.

Life

 

Yes, good dawg
You saw through the fog

 

Tonight is a good night. Thankyou for putting up with me. Life is getting good again.

Celebrating tonight don't you see!

 

I got it many times, especially when I was sauced.
In the pumpkin patch, when the fruit was capped with frost.
And Oh! I got it once in Japan when my North and South got crossed.
I was rhyming slowly, see, the thing I got was "lost".

 

if its not too personal, what were you accused of? since its done and over with its not like you would be doing something wrong by telling us. although if its too personal then thats understandable

 

Where are you going, Greatheart,
With your eager face and fiery grace?
Where are you going, Greatheart?

"To fight a fight with all my might,
For Truth and Justice, God and Right,
To grace all Life with His fair Light."
-Then God go with you, Greatheart!

-Where are you going, Greatheart?
"To beard the Devil in his den;
To smite him with the strength of ten;
To set at large the souls of men."
-Then God go with you, Greatheart!

-Where are you going, Greatheart?
"To cleanse the earth of noisome things;
To draw from life its poison stings;
To give free play to Freedom's wings."
-Then God go with you, Greatheart!

-Where are you going, Greatheart?
"To lift Today above the Past;
To make Tomorrow sure and fast;
To nail God's colors to the mast."
-Then God go with you, Greatheart!

-Where are you going, Greatheart?
"To break down old dividing lines;
To carry out my Lord's designs;
To build again His broken shrines."
-Then God go with you, Greatheart!

-Where are you going, Greatheart?
"To set all burdened peoples free;
To win for all God's liberty;
To 'stablish His sweet sovereignty."
God goeth with you, Greatheart!
-John Oxenham

Congrats Greatheart!

it's better to be in a bar than behind them
The weight off your shoulders is more than a gym
An innocent free
sounds good to me
I'd miss your riddle and joke
If you were in the poke.

 

Very good to hear Dan. Time to get a new start on your life. Today's the first day. Cheers.

 

We're heading to the beach today!

Have a great day guys. Life is good again!!!

 

Great! You never did explain your conundrum
But at least you're on way to get a... sunburn?

 

Freedom isn't free
But it is worth the price
I'm happy your getting toasted
Instead of on ice

Privacys a touchy matter
In most folks melons
It would make me mad as a hatter
To be maybe considered a felon

Even once your name is clear
Being associated in folks minds
May lead them to wonder
Why might one have been charged with the crime

Our buddy Dan is with us
That we should celebrate
The cause let's not press
Afore it's too late

 

In light of the circumstances i'm not going to try to rhyme...

Dan, i am very glad to hear that you have been cleared of any false charges. As a man that has few friends, i value the ones i have. I also value the ones i've never met. So you being one of the later, good on you, and your family is in my thoughts.

Now this being said, let's get back to mindless rhyming!
