Old though it may be
It’s a new one to me.
I recall a run of fence
But it made me quite tense
Since a fence can be picket
But cannot be picked.
Then it hit me in the face
In the middle of that place
Such beautiful prose
To describe a nose.
 
My arms in darkness reach into the black
Though my mouth may be open only a crack.
I’m a leviathan of earth rather than sea
And death awaits those who plumb my belly.
Should I lure you in and trap you within me
A dark death of hunger will your last days be.
Should you however carry a light
My treasure is yours and is your delight.
 
Beermanpete of course you got it
No darker place can people sit.
If you want to have a strange experience
Turn off your light to see odd deliriums.
I’ll have you know it’s all the rave
To get down and dirty and explore a cave.
My turn can now begin
For your riddle to make me scratch my chin.
 
I offer a bit of a departure from the norm,
Not exactly a riddle in its form,
A mixture of crossword, rebus, and pun,
At the very least, I hope that it's fun.

The land of fire and brimstone + an expression of surprise
Not an enlisted man
An ocular organ + "that's delicious!"
Twisted wood
Imbibed
Fair and righteous
The first of the 'bet
What Charlie did to 'me'
Rotating pneumatic cushion + Delta

If you've been driving
And you're seeing double,
It's what you might say
To stay out of trouble.

****?!
 
I am sorry for the delay
For this I shall surely pay
The subject of this riddle is a singer
and actress who was a humdinger
Cat Woman the third was she
and the best of them says me
Her family name sounds like
David Hasselhoff's car
these are the clues, such as they are

btw, the original post should have read:

As Cat Woman I am bold
I sing about Miss Rheingold
But have not had beer,
My Dear

by the time I noticed the spelling mistake
the edit button was dead
for this 20 lashes I will take
 
I've left you high and dry without a riddle o'er a week.
You might reasonably curse me in a fit of righteous pique.
There's just one thing sucks worse than me, name it, it's your turn.
Just keep the hose end far away from your grandpa's urn.
 
Alright, another one from 'the Dark Tower' series....

Walk on the living, they don't even mumble;
Walk on the dead they mutter and grumble.

What are they?
 
Well played FatDragon, dead leaves do mutter and grumble
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.
 
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?
 
I’ll give this a try put distractions bye bye
Zero of them said correctly three
There are only four fruits that I see
