Let Us Commence Riddling

She's always ready to lend an ear
With hair so light
Too bad you she won't hear
The devil inside her
Is ready to burst
But lucky for you,
Of imps he's not the worst.

What is she?

is the final pronoun "he" a typo or a tricky little hint or something?

is she a demonically possessed ear of corn?

Kathleen, you are correct, the answer is an ear of corn.

The final pro-noun is supposed to be a "he". Here is the story, I'm not responsible for it's validity:


Legend has it that an imp lived inside corn kernels, and when his home was heated, he got so upset that he burst.
From this we got popcorn!

yay! that was my strong first instinct but i wasn't sure it fit so I almost dismissed it! Always goes to show ---you should trust your gut! (if it's filled with popcorn or not)

Fun riddle LO!
