What has wings,
But can not fly.
Is enclosed,
But can outside also lie.
Can open itself up,
Or close itself away.
Is the place of kings and queens,
And doggerel of every means.
What is it upon which I stand?
Which can lead us to different lands.

akl21 Jul 16, 2006	The actual teaser was hard, I thought, until I read that hint. But it was very good, and I liked it.
builder Apr 24, 2009	I was all over the place with possibilities until I read the hint. Totally gave it away. Back to my coach and on to new teasers.
doehead Apr 24, 2009	Hint made it easy.
bradon182001 Apr 24, 2009	Have to agree, the hint totally gave it away. Without it, I doubt I would have gotten it right. Thanks for posting.

craniac Apr 24, 2009	Like others, I couldn't have gotten it without the hint, so I rated this teaser hard, but the hint made it easy as pie.
avonma Apr 24, 2009	I'm like the others. I couldn't figure it out, until I finally looked at the hint. Then I knew it. Thanks! That was fun!
auntiesis Apr 24, 2009	I agree with many others who got it with the hint. Very well written, very clever.

Babe May 04, 2012	Yes, the hint gave away what you wanted us to know, but I do not see the connection with some of the things you say. A stage opens itself up and closes itself? Someone has to pull the strings. Explain someone please.
gghali May 04, 2012	I got it without the hint, but didn't understand how a stage had wings?
bestgirl May 04, 2012	The spaces behing and to the sides of the stage are often referred to as wings.
dsjt May 04, 2012	I miss-read the hint. Too early in the morning. I thought the hint said "The BIRD says,'All the world is a...' So I thought the answer was TOILET. It is called a throne. A place for kings and queens. And every other doggerel uses one as well. It has wings but cannot fly. The lid and the seat can be look at as wings. It is usually enclosed within a building. But sometimes it is outside. An outhouse for example. There are some new electronic toilets that will and and close the lid automatically. As far as going to other lands, I was thinking about where the waste is transported to. But I see that I was wrong.
