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,
I don't think you could eat me even though you say you might.
Decipher all these clues and then together they should tie
To help you solve the question which, of course, is "what am I?

insomnia Mar 29, 2009	Great job! It was an easy one for me, but the wordplay was wonderful.
bluefever101 Mar 29, 2009	I thought of "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" so I thought it was a horse, but I didn't understand the rest until I looked at the answer. Let me repeat what everyone else has already said. Great wording, and even in the answer!

avonma Mar 29, 2009	I got it! It was easy. You did a wonderful job writing it - very good!
tipsypyro Mar 29, 2009	Yhis was great, but eating a horse is not all that far fetched.
Bastet Mar 30, 2009	Eating a horse isn't all that far fetched if you've ever eaten "mystery meat" in a college cafeteria. We used to speculate as to its source. Seriously, though, while the riddle was very easy, it was a lot of fun and I just loved the rhyming answer. This is one of the best teasers ever!
Babe Mar 29, 2012	The third and fourth lines gave it to me. Nice one and fun!

luluw5 Mar 29, 2012	that was so easy, i got it as soon as it read "Then look me over carefully, just don't look at my teeth" everyone knows you don't look a gift horse in the mouth!
