Chillytoes

Chilly toes or silly toes?

Have to put on socks

I‘m too idle though the cold bites

Lost the will to move? he mocks

Life is chilly for a silly. Socks are packed away

Yes I have some… Dear-oh-dearie, where (oh where) are they?

Space Riddle by Katherine Gallagher

Space Riddle

My face
Is as wide as a mountain.

When I give orders,
I roar in thirty languages
and the stars blink.

I live on thin air
and sleep with my eyes open.

What am I?

Answer: Nobody knows.

Limerick

The glorious lady Godiva,
Of fame we would never deprive her,
A nude horseback dash
Might seem crude, even brash,
But my gran has done worse for a fiver.
