Quick Yet Deadly
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I can be quick and then I'm deadly,
I am a rock, shell and bone medley.
If I was made into a man, I'd make people dream,
I gather in my millions by ocean, sea and stream.

| Line 3 refers to a song that goes "Mr. Sandman send a dream." It's played in Back to the Future. |

| Close your eyes and the sandman will come put you to sleep.
Scary thing to tell a child.
Quick sand is over rated at being deadly. |

| really good! When i saw the answer, the third line popped out at me. Sand-man, good one. I don't know if it's really known for being deadly though... |

| When I thought quick yet deadly, I thought of sandstorms... Those can be quite dangerous, especially to your eyes if you aren't careful... |

| It's okay Zig, Sand is made from both rock, and shells, as well as an assortment of other things- so you were close |

| This one was actually easy for me.  Sand popped into my mind after the first line but at the time, I thought it was quick sand... Then I finished the rest. Tehe. |

| I don't often get riddles, so when 'sand' popped into my head after the 3rd reading, and fit everything perfectly, I was very excited!! |

| Good one, but I didn't get it. It makes perfect sense once you know the answer.  |

| I thought "quicksand" too. For those of you who didn't get the third line, have you ever heard of the sandman? |

| I got it without the "quick" but then my brain woke up. The Sandman is an old story, he comes at night and sprinkles sand in your eyes to make you sleep. |

| I just looked it up on Wikipedia, it's from a Hans Christian Andersen story. |
