Rhyme Time

February 4, 2009

Muse Terpsichore opened Wednesday's Potpourri with a riddle for her guests to guess what game they would be playing: "An hour of riddles, whose answers end the same?" Which Sadee correctly guessed was Rhyme Time. DUSTY noted another name for our game was Rhymie Stymie. The game of Riddles consisted of short clues to a two word rhyme with a 10 second countdown giving each guest time to think of the answer.

Here is a sample of some of the Rhyming Riddles, see if you can figure them out. The answers are provided at the end.

1) What is a Purple Gorilla?
2) What is a Damp Dog?
3) What is a Hog Hoedown?
4) What is a Dawdling Female Deer?
5) What is a Silly Rabbit?
6) What is a Fortunate Fowl?
7) What is a Tired Flower?
8) What is a Crazy Bird Song?
9) What are Stories on Sale?
10) What is a Red Bouquet?
11) What is Lottery Love?
12) What is a Flirty Sister?

The players enjoyed guessing at the riddles. Some were silly and easy to guess, others stumped our guests. A good time was had by all and the Muses shared a selection from the Pure Love collection of Valentine gifts from previous years with their guests.
