Song
You begin to sing "The Riddle Song", by Vogelin Wittelsbach.
- "I cry the town without a mouth,
- From east to west, from north to south.
- Outside, there's nowhere I'm not heard,
- But inside -- shh! -- I speak no word."
- "What am I?"
- "To gain me, you must pass the door
- And polish till your hands are sore;
- While I live, not worth a breath,
- But when I die, I conquer death."
- "What am I?"
- "Small I be, of shifting shape.
- I bear no sword, I wear no cape,
- Yet I can go where you won't dare
- To tell you what is lurking there."
- "What am I?"
- "No mind, stone blind,
- All that move are freer,
- Earth-bound, ring-round,
- Heaven-centered seer."
- "What am I?"
- "Money-eater, gear-completer,
- In-and-out, there's nothing fleeter.
- My absence makes the heart grow fonder,
- My presence makes you poorer. Ponder!"
- "What am I?"
- "Down on my luck, couldn't be flatter,
- I'm silent and glum while the passersby chatter.
- Don't think I can help you, don't ask for some cash,
- Don't try for a touch -- it would surely be rash!"
- "What am I?"
- "Prancing terror of the scaled domain,
- Taloned bearer of a taunting name,
- I'll number you as an honored friend,
- Only if you're sure I won't offend."
- "Who am I?"
- "I'm sweet and I'm savage; I'm scaly, I'm soft,
- A creature ferocious, yet given out free,
- I sleep in a sack and I wing it aloft,
- I eat and I'm eaten -- now what can I be?"
- "What am I?"
You end the song.
