has been sending me some ancient riddles and I have been responding in kind.
I asked him, "What's soft and yellow and jumps up and down?" His answer "Spring loaded custard" was not the one I expected - I think I like it better than the answer I had which was, "An omelette at a football match."
It is the unexpected which delights. "What has four legs and two tails?"
The answer is a ridiculous image. I wonder who thinks of these things and I am also grateful to them.

Here's one from my wonderful late Scottish Granny:
Come a riddle come a riddle
Come a rote tote tote
A wee wee man
In a wee red coat
A staff in his hand
And a stone at his throat
Come a riddle come a riddle
Come a rote tote tote
What is he?
A cherry! (We must have the same grandmother.)
:-) hee hee hee, you're right, we must have! :-)
PS - I can only say that out loud in a Scottish accent :-)
