Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, September 6th, 2012

I’m the visual arts, whether painting or clay;
I’m the thinnest of pen points; a light misty spray;
I am quality china; a top Cabernet;
Or, for minor transgressions, the money you pay.

Who am I?

When Olympic, I’m big, though in yards, I am small;
I’m the genes of a group; I’m the workers on call;
When the office collectively takes bets from all;
And the game that you play with your cue in the hall.

Who am I?

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

I can get you backstage, or allowed in the hall;
I’m to whiz by a car that is stuck in a crawl;
To succeed in a class; to relinquish the ball;
Or to opt out when you have no interest at all.

Who am I?

Thursday, August 16th, 2012

I’m the view that you take when you will not retreat;
I can hold up a bike, or a musical sheet;
I’m a place for a witness; to rise to your feet;
And a place to buy hot dogs or news on the street.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, August 9th, 2012

I am pitching your tent in some outdoorsy place;
I’m a fun spot for kids, in the band or for space;
A political faction; an army-made base;
And I’m so bad, it’s good… the deliberate case.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

I’m a hole in the earth where you dig out a stone;
I’m a bomb in the water that waits to be blown;
To make use of a resource; explore the unknown;
And a word that you use to describe what you own.

Who am I?

Thursday, July 19th, 2012

I am pinned to a garment in silver or gold;
I’m a spit where the meat while it’s roasted is rolled;
I’m a tool that makes leather or metal quite holed;
And to bring up a topic, should you be so bold.

Who am I?

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

I’m a place for a queen; I’m a well-balanced meal;
I’m the center of town; I’m a fair-minded deal;
I’m a less-than-hip cat; a poor shape for a wheel;
And a carpenter’s tool that is made out of steel.

Who am I?

On your Macintosh screen, I’m a toolbar array;
I’m a punitive measure, removed from your pay;
I’m where cell phones can charge; I’m where sailboats can stay;
And where Otis prefers to waste time at the bay.

Who am I?

I’m a foul on the court; but I’ll get you on base;
What defendants may do after winning their case;
To abandon a deal; mathematical trace;
And a casual stroll at a leisurely pace.

Who am I?
