I will start with this riddle:

What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?

DarkWolf OP February 3rd, 2017

I found a really really old book with riddles, let's see if you can solve them all smiley

I will sing you a song of a warrior wee,

the powers of darkness before him flee.

He is very slender and very small,

but a match for the strongest man of all.

In his first great battle he sinks and dies,

and his body in dust and ashes lies.

But his glory remains by night and day,

to drive the cold and the gloom away.

Who/what is he?

@AmalieAnne

You did, I didn't expect anyone here to have read it? That will sadly spoil it quite a bit for you.

And whosoever, though weak and small,
Is striving to comfort and gladden all,
Though seeming to perish and die away,
Shall live in glory for aye and aye.

@allnaturalNight50

You're really close. And although it's a very valid answer.. there's an answer that might be a little bit more fitting still.

Thanks for the clue

DarkWolf OP February 3rd, 2017

It is over the way of a duck.

It is under the way of a goose.

And right in the way of a railroad train,

and every day in use.

(* hint: We falsely deem our onward road,

by man things blockaded.

Which really are of our way,

by heavenily wisdom graded)

What/who is it?

DarkWolf OP February 3rd, 2017

Since the beginning of this riddle-topic over a year ago, I've encountered a lot of 'dirty-mind' riddles. I never really thought it was apropiate to post on 7cups. But since all these riddles have perfectly innocent answers.. I think we can try to do them now. Just.. try to stay away from sexual answers, for obvious reasons.

For the people who aren't ok with this.. I will give a spoiler before every question and put them below that in a smaller font.

Warning, dirty-mind riddle down below:

You play with me at night before going to sleep. You cant get caught fiddling with me at work. You only let a select few people touch me. What am I?

@DarkWolf our eyes?

DarkWolf OP February 3rd, 2017

@mikhaela

Nope.. you basically can play with your hair/fingers/eyes/etc at work without having too many issues/without getting a boss angry at you. So it's a little bit different than that.

mikhaela February 3rd, 2017

@DarkWolf maybe our imagination?

DarkWolf OP February 3rd, 2017

@mikhaela

Nope.. you can hide that pretty well, I'd suppose. And the answer is something you can literally touch.

@DarkWolf

What do you mean by " You cant get caught fiddling with me at work." ? Do you mean it'll land you in trouble if you get caught fiddling with it at work,or, that fiddling with it at work will not land you in any trouble ?

DarkWolf OP February 3rd, 2017
