Maki the monkey poet
Weekly Wendsday Riddle 7 NOV 07
Dip, dip, dip me in the drink
each time you pull me out
I grow instead of shrink

Hold me buy my single hair
else you burn your hand
the soup is hot underneath
too hot for you to stand

I'm soft when warm but
the cool makes me hard
the flower eaters hoard
or a heavy dose of lard

When the day is done
I'll wait for the night
and mimic the sun

What am I?

Sounds like a tea bag to me, or something like that.

your in the ball park but no, neither honey or a tea bag.

this is a hard one so I'll give you a hint:

1. the first 8 lines talk about how this is made
2. The 9th -12th lines mention what it's made of
3. The last 4 lines say what this does

is it candy? like caramel or taffy? (candy is my guess, but to illustrate my point.)

well, I suppose I got you guys on this one. It was pretty hard. The correct answer was "Candle."

Candles are made by dipping string in wax repeatedly and allowing them to harden.

Traditionally, candles were made from Bee's wax or animal lard.

And of course, they give off light i.e. "Mimic the sun"
