Just two hairs grow upon her head,
But she wears a flowered gown
And dances along the flower bed-
The prettiest creature in town!

What do you get when you cross a bunny with an amoeba?

A creature that grabs carrots from your garden with pseudopods.

A chimney?
I'm not getting the 'round about' part...

I always thought of it like this: Walk around a chimney, and you'll see four corners. :-)

Black we are, and much admired,
Men seek for us when they are tired;
We tire the horse, yet comfort man:
Tell me this riddle if you can.

The only thing I can think of right now that makes any sense is coffee beans, but I don't get how that would make a horse tired. xP xP

Sorry, everybody… the answer is +coal+. I don't really know how coal can be admired….maybe when it's cold outside and the coal is burning?

_Round like an apple,_ _Deep like a cup,_ _Yet all the kings horses can't pull it up._

A well? I can think of a bunch of things that could fit with this. :P

Well, actually the answer I was thinking of was +fog+, but smoke will work just as well. :-) Yes, I do like Beatrix Potter; we used to read those stories all the time. I'm assuming you, also, have read "Squirrel Nutkin". :-)

A bright red flower he wears on his head;
His beautiful coat needs no thimble nor thread;
_ And though he's fearsome, I'll have you know_
Ten thousand doors open when he says so!
What is it?

On Solid Ground

I had to return and post this before I forgot.

Adam, God made out of dust but thought it best to make me first, so I was made before man to answer God's most holy plan. A living being I became and Adam gave to me my name. I from his presence then withdrew and more of Adam never knew. I did my Maker's law obey nor ever went from it astray. Thousands of miles I go in fear but seldom on earth appear. And without hands, or feet, or soul, I travel on from pole to pole. I labor hard by day, by night. To fallen men I give great light. Thousands of people, young and old will by my death great light behold. No right or wrong can I conceive. The scripture I cannot believe, although my name therein is found. They are to me an empty sound. No fear of death doth trouble me, real happiness I will never see. To heaven I shall never go or to hell below. Now when these lines you slowly read, go search your Bible with all speed; for that my name is written there, I do honestly to you declare. What am I?
