Title: A sticky one Post by Noke Lieu on Mar 15th, 2004, 11:09pm A recent post inspired my riddle. Hope its not a piece of piddle. ;) You have it there, we have it here: Blue or black swollen sphere Boiled up with sweetened gear, And that took most the year! what did? I'll stop bad rhymes- I mean it. Anybody want a peanut? |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Noke Lieu on Mar 17th, 2004, 4:32pm To stop this riddle from being a quicky, It's a matter of what flavour sticky, The [hide]damsel[/hide] was in distress... With this, you're assured success Without that hide, its still quite tricky But you'll prove that you are no thicky. :-X (that just rhymed so nice, though I removed it twice) |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Speaker on Mar 17th, 2004, 5:02pm The mystery yet continues thicker My wit I fear the worse, less quicker The answer I thought black or blue Of raz, or straw, or huckle too Persist you in this sticky quest To answer Marion might be my best (You guys in OZ like vegamite but the answer is something sweeter, right?) |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Noke Lieu on Mar 17th, 2004, 7:26pm Before us continue this rhyming duet You had half the answer, and you knew it. Don't be fooled by that wayward clue Is Marion black? Is Marion blue? There may be reason you Marion choose, Though link is slight, link is loose Depends how your brain is bending You chose that Maid for her ending? Yes, we love our extact of yeast spread on toast, it is a feast Salty as the sweat of a dancer as you say, thats not the answer The fruit you seek, even at a push, You'd never find on a bush. In your mind a berry you figure... try blue-black fruit thats slightly bigger. |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by bobcat on Mar 17th, 2004, 9:56pm No time to rhyme... Perhaps a [hide] grape is the intended black blue fruit [/hide] and therefore [hide] wine [/hide] may be the intended answer to the riddle. All said and done, that was fun! |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Speaker on Mar 17th, 2004, 10:37pm From this vine you make a jelly Slathered on toast to fill your belly My lady Marion, an Oregon berry She's black or blue, but not contrary Does whine the lady when in distress I hope she don't, I must confess I think that she would yell out rape To bring on the run the dude in the cape |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Noke Lieu on Mar 17th, 2004, 10:44pm Bobcat, come on in, the water's fine I like you answer, being one of wine not what I was looking for, but I'll rhyme with you- I'm such a slut Speaker's the closer between you two, but was flumoxed by an off-key clue. There's more to gleen from the original fourth line It was the one that forced the rhyme. Answers not wine, nor is it beer- Don't back off-you're very near It definately goes on toast That's where you'll find it most. Got to stop typing in cuplets 5 kids at once- thats quintuplets! |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by bobcat on Mar 17th, 2004, 10:47pm You make [hide] jelly [/hide] with [hide] grapes [/hide]? |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by raven on Mar 17th, 2004, 11:59pm My favorite fruit when I was but young, I ate so much it filled up my tum', I've seen it as wine, so don't call me dumb, But spread on bread I would surely succumb... Hello riddlers... long time no rhyme, Life is very interesting lately.... |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Speaker on Mar 18th, 2004, 2:09am With a rhyme the Raven's come He knows the answer, so claims the bum In his verse hide hints think some But, bear they fruit? Not if yer dumb What is the fruit? My brain grows numb By golly is it a royal [hide]plum[/hide] To find that answer the depths I plumb Oh woe, twas ate my toast is but a crumb |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Noke Lieu on Mar 18th, 2004, 2:50pm You can make wine from this fruit, But frankly, I don't give a hoot- When answer's whole it suits the clues, Anything less, you're bound to lose. Seems you've both got the flavour Of boiled sugar that I savour Just in case you can't see why Here's the logic your brain did fry.... To get this fruit of a tree The most important line, it seems to me Is that it takes most the year to boil up this swollen sphere. Write out the months in an line But just their first- that'll be fine Then you boil them quite hard So that list is quite marred Leaves you with nine and with three Look at the bigger, then you'll see It has the letters that you need For this truly scrumptious feed. Of this thread, quite proud I am, The answer is [hide] damson jam[/hide] Speaker, we've slowed my work, but its been fun Got to stop rhyming, so I'll start now. Nice to see you, raven. |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Speaker on Mar 21st, 2004, 4:47pm Okay, thanks for the extra hint. I got it now. I had never heard of it, but I looked it up in the dictionary, and discovered that it comes from the Prunus Insititia aka prunum damascenum. So, while my last guess was not correct specifically, it was generally. |

Title: Re: A sticky one Post by Noke Lieu on Mar 21st, 2004, 9:53pm yeah- have been getting a lot of that- sorry. Nobody seems to eat fruit anymore.... They're good, but not blood plum good. And I thought you had it- super sorry. I guess thats part of that rhyming stuff. |
