I may run rings around you
Or escape your clutching grip
Or leave a treacherous trail
That gives a sudden slip.
(If you're not careful!)

You always end up winning,
While I shrink with each new meet:
Our bouts will be my ruin,
But you'll come out smelling sweet.

What am I?

Synlapse Dec 10, 2006	If you had included a reference to it being used after a child's naughty language, I wonder how many people would have had a flashback. (only the seniors!)

jabdr Dec 10, 2006	Speaking of mis-types...sorry Gebbie........
wordmama Dec 10, 2006	I don't usually 'get' riddles. First read-through, didn't get it. Then I examined the title and read it again and voila! got it exactly! It was adorable! Thank you for the opportunity to give riddles a chance!
teddybair Dec 10, 2006	Nice one Gebbie! Very well worded and not to difficult to figure out. Fun!
kimberlykay Dec 10, 2006	I know that I already said that I like this one, but I wanted to say CONGRATS on making T.O.D.!!! Go Gebbie Go!!!!
GebbieRose Dec 10, 2006	Thanks, kk! Thanks everyone!!
I_Write_Books Dec 10, 2006	Cute teaser...if I had read the title, maybe I would have answered correctly!
utnative Dec 11, 2006	this is a good riddle. but i couldn't figure it out great job
FatHead Dec 11, 2006	WAY too easy!
zaya Dec 11, 2006	I don't get all the positive comments, this is way, way, way too easy
lmurray Dec 12, 2006	CUTE A MONTH OLD RE-RUN?? CUTE, BUT YOU CAN'T BELIEVE WE FORGOT THE ANSWER SO QUICKLY.
GebbieRose Dec 13, 2006	Xiexie ni ^!
Qrystal Dec 14, 2006	Awww this was really cute! What a good riddle! And well-written too. The title would've really made it even more of a giveaway, but I didn't look at the title until after I got the answer. What fun though! ^^ and lmurry, why claim this is a rerun from a month ago when it simply isn't true? I was here a month ago, and it wasn't a teaser of the day then. Maybe you're confused because people have put comments on it before it was teaser of the day. You know, it is possible to check out teasers that aren't teaser of the day.... Anyways, not expecting he'll see that, but... shrug
vlerma Dec 16, 2006	This one was squeaky clean and cute. I liked it. Imurray I do hope you go back and read the above comment because she does a great job of explaining why there are comments older than the day this became teaser of the day. Check 'em out. Just hit Browse teasers. But you were right, it is cute. More please.
OhEmGee Dec 16, 2006	good teaser! because im used to the space bar
fedex337 Jun 29, 2007	i cant believe i got it!
Zag24 Jan 12, 2009	Great riddle, but the title was a bit too much of a hint.
doehead Dec 10, 2009	To all those who didn't get this one in 10 seconds must have slipped on the soap and cracked their heads.
emu77alu02 Dec 10, 2009	Sometimes I think the titles do too much to give it away... I wonder if it would have been half as easy if I wasn't already thinking about bathtime. Cute teaser!
GebbieRose Dec 10, 2009	Thank you! You're right - the title helps give it away. Better luck next time?
mathmaniac Dec 10, 2009	I enjoyed it! Very fun and easy, the perfect quick teaser imo
auntiesis Dec 10, 2009
BrainMaster21 Dec 10, 2009	that was very clever!
animallover2000 Dec 10, 2009	Cute! Love the rhyme! I got it sent by e-mail to me. How do you come up with these things?
Babe Dec 10, 2012	Got this one very easily. I like when I can do that. Nice teaser.
jaycr Dec 10, 2012	Nice
HABS2933 Dec 10, 2012	I enjoyed this teaser though as many others have said, it was quite easy and though like a previous poster I don't normally even look at the title (or hint) until after, had I read it I am sure my solve time would have been even shorter. This being said, the teaser is great for our younger Braingle members or those of with children (I'll be giving this to them later).
cutebug Dec 10, 2012	Like I said before under my other handle VERY EASY.
Caramell Dec 10, 2012	NOOOOOOO! I was so close! I said shampoo
