What am I?
I will help you with your writing,
Probably through me you will see,
But if you want to ship me,
You'll put me right inside of me.
I wear many different hats you know,
In construction plus I'm tracing,
I also do work for the board,
Lots of kids use me for a racing.
You can fold me, tear me,
Rip me without using all your might,
But be careful how you touch me,
I may give you my famous bite.

You didn't need so long an explanation of the answer. I think people could figure it out for themselves.
-pokes Yoda-
I know I sure needed it, so please don't be rude!

Easy- the end gives it away.
You are all so rude! (except for CelestWolfsbane) DID, I liked it! I didn't get is at all! Great teaser!!!
I liked it! Definently looked at paper, but then i thought that was wrong. I guess I was right though! Good Job! I liked the riddle and the rhyme, it must have taken a lot of time. That's probably why i am really bad at writing riddles That one was great!
Pretty good. I guessed paper, but wasn't sure about the "see through me" and "kids use for racing" lines.
Very nice job. This one has all the elements of a good teaser. Some of the comment makers need to grow up!! They are simply jealous that they cannot think of any clever teasers to create! Keep up the good work!
this was pretty EZ
a good one for kids
the title and any 2 of the clues give it away
And for the kids, the explanation is just fine
U don't HAVE to read the explanation when U get the puzzle right

i thought paper, then i thought wood...

great teaser

I too thought wood. I think it can be made to fit the clues, perhaps some better than paper.
Nice teaser! Liked the poem!
GOT IT RIGHT...GOOD ONE
On the easy side, but still fun to read. Thanks for posting.
Very well written. Thank you!
Very easy

Please forgive my typing above. I was trying to see through a piece of paper when I typed it.

very cute, easy, but cute. Thanks
People who live on the internet, are not used to paper! Ha Good one!
I thought it was clever, but I inferred that the "a racing" part of the riddle was a reference to "erasing" which makes a bit more sense to me. But Hey, I married an aeronautical engineer, so all things refer to planes here...
Did a bunch of you get out of the wrong side of bed today There is no need to be rude!!!
I actually got the paper airplane race thing
I solved it fairly quickly!
ENJOYED IT, THANKS 4 POSTING

I don't usually get riddles, so I was thrilled to have one that was easy enough for me to get!!
VEERY CLEVER!!!! BUT UI HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS.
i got it!!!!
i'm sure dumb
i didn't get it
i didn't get it
It was easy enough to figure out, but I still wasn't 100% sure of my answer. I like how you explained all the different points, unlike so many others which leave you wondering.
Great teaser, a bit too easy for me, but it was very well written, and the explanation is good.
Sometimes one or two lines in a riddle don't make sense to the reader, and an explanation helps the reader undrstand where you're coming from.
I know all those nasty comments by other readers were written ages ago, but incase the general sentiment from the rest of us isn't clear, just ignore them, you've done a great job.

Great teaser! Fun, but easy. The first thing I thought of was paper, but I thought that answer was too obvious. Hehe, oops.
Anyway, I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting this!

I got this one right away, good one
PAPER!!! Liked it!
great teaser... i had the answer by the end of the first verse, so the rest was just a read through ... and i didnt read the explanations either sorry... kinda in a hurry... excellent job overall though
Holy crap! I got a daily teaser. I just decided to pop back in, I haven't been here in a couple of months. Thanks guys!
How do you see through most paper?
You see through paper by holding it up to the light - very good teaser!
So you are claiming that translucent equates to seeing through?
Easy! Loved it!
Paper cuts definitely gave it away but I don't know how paper has many hats-colors to me don't seem like hats- clothes do Also I cannot see through paper unless you mean sideways, where I see only a line- or unless you mean there is like a light shining on it and there is something on the other side.
"SHADOW PUPPETS =D!!"
"SHADOW PUPPETS =D!!"
Interesting teaser. I'd appreciate it a bit more, however, if the lines were clearer and more grammatically correct. "Say, Johnny, do you want to have a racing?" Also, of all the things you could've said about paper, you chose the fact that it's sometimes maybe sort of see-through?
Still nice to read, though. It certainly doesn't deserve all the nasty comments.

Great riddle! Funny, I finally gave up and went to look for the answer. Just before I looked at the answer, I muttered to myself, "I don't know, some kind of paper. LOL
Great teaser. Loved the part about its "famous bite"
If stating an opinion is rude, then I am rude because I thought some of the statements were misleading and not like paper at all. The fact the author had to go into great detail in her answer proves my point. Nice try though
Sorry!
Sorry!
Got it, but wondered if "kids use me for a race" or "kids use me for racing" would be more grammatically correct?
Good work, I like this one. Very good content. However, I have some issues with the construction. Every stanza is one big run-on sentence. Just that it's a poem doesn't mean that it can flout the rules of the English language. I can't make heads or tails of the middle stanza, structurally. But again, good content, good thinking. Great riddle, just needs work!
I thought this riddle was very clever and well written!
Very well written, but way too easy( too many clues )?
Easy and fun. gj
Easy teasy. I did not understand the "see through" reference or the board, but it was clear what the riddle referenced. I had no problem with run on sentences or grammar. It's a poem, not prose. It was a fun read. I would struggle to come up with a better riddle for paper.
