Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I’m a person who’s talking, so lend me your ear;

And I promise a lecture when set to appear.

Who am I?

And I sang of my dream: the good ship Lollipop.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle: Guest Riddler Edition

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I was on a retreat yesterday for the teacher training organization where I work. For one activity, we had to teach a skill we had to a colleague. My partner was our tech guru Evan O’Donnell, and instead of having him teach me something useful, we decided that I should teach him my method for writing riddles.

He then wrote one of his own (under extreme time pressure), and I was so impressed with how it turned out that I asked him if I could publish it here. Enjoy!

I’m a set of approaches with rules that are stern;
An aligned group of fishes, all swimming in turn;
Nirvana sings me for the money they earn;
Or I’m simply a building for students to learn.

Who am I?

I’m a check with no limit; a face that’s just mild;
I am paper unblemished; in Scrabble, I’m wild;
And according to Locke, I’m the slate of a child.

I am a __________.
