Maki the monkey poet
"Weekly Riddle Wendsday" 19 Sept 07
I have several throats,
wind comes in only one
My belly swells,
with borrowed breath
but when it's flat,
my singings done

I ride before the dead,
those who marry I ride after
I screech for battles on a hill,
and wail in times of laughter

What am I? Hint: a thing

I changed the prose of this riddle half way through. Traditional rhyming poetry usually maintains the same timing throught but hey, Artistic license right.

It's the Bagpipes. The only wind that goes into it is through the one that the player blows through. And once teh bag is flat, the other pipes won't make sound.

In some traditions, a bagpipe player is to play amazing grace at funerals. And also, in Iresland and Scotland and such, they initiate the approching of the troops and the beginning of battle.

Well damn it! Another one guessed in no time flat. Yes, the correct answer is "Bagpipes". You guys are too smart for me, I'm going to have to make these riddles a hell of allot harder. Technically, Raggedy_Ann isn't a member of the Tiki Bar yet. If she choses to join however, then she'll recieve her reward for getting the correct answer.

Don't worry about it Porshia. I post another Riddle every wendsday so you can get the drop on the next one.
