Exit and Entrance
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
If you throw me from the window,
I will leave a grieving wife.
Bring me back, but in the door, and
You'll see someone giving life!
What am I?
Answer
The letter 'n'.
wiNdow - widow
door - doNor

| Personally, I think it works just as well as a statement about the chaos of our culture which has even affected our eating habits. Most of the time food is thrown out of a drive through window in a robotic, impersonal, inhuman manner, shattering the idea of the nuclear family and saddening our mothers that worked so hard to raise us in a loving environment. But if you take the time to walk into a place and enjoy the food socially, you'll be living again.
lulz. jk. |

| Wow, Fermats - I never thought I could be so philosophical! You must be one of those guys who writes reviews of abstract art!! AND you make a great point about society. |

| Really liked it, I did not come up with the answer but once I saw the answer it made perfect sense. Those are the best ones. Now off to see if I can stump others with it. |

| Terrific teaser. Well written, makes perfect sense, and a great sense of wordplay. I don't often comment, but this one deserves it. Great job. |

| Well, i almost got it. I assumed it was 'Letter'. The lette rbeing thrown out of the window would leave a grieving wife, because the letter could be of a dead husband at war.
If the letter is coming throught the door, then new life could be that letter was a college acceptance letter, making ay for a better life. |
