Or so they seem;
But paired in tandem,
A deadly team.

Him so firm and straight,
Yet when they are compounded,
Woe to them they hate.

Riddle to Solve

Can you identify what the riddle is talking about?

Such manners!
They visit every single house
And wish to stay and eat.
When they get their food,
They tread it with their feet.
We wish these visitors would go away,
They don't say thank you,
They never pay
Please leave us alone!

Back to Riddling

I'm called a man,
But I'll never have a wife.
I was given a body,
But not given life.
They made me a mouth,
But I wasn't given breath.
Water gives body,
And sun gives me death.
What am I?

for fun they get mixed with one another.

but it's quite tricky to put them back in their place.
With time and patience it can be done,
but to mix them up again is way more fun.

A Riddle Just for YOU!

If to you I'm given you should thankfully receive,
Then look me over carefully, just don't look at my teeth.
Show me to a cool stream and I'll follow willingly,
Though I might not do what you want, although parched I may be,
But if you're really hungry and are looking for a bite,

To help you solve the question which, of course, is "what am I?
