Snow Plow
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
The following limerick has had the last word of each line scrambled. Can you figure it out?
In a snowstorm the plow wasn't TWIFS,
So Jim was decidedly FIDFEM;
His street really ENDEDE
The plow, so he DAPELED,
But the driver did not get his FIDTR.
Answer
In a snowstorm the plow wasn't SWIFT,
So Jim was decidedly MIFFED;
His street really NEEDED
The plow, so he PLEADED,
But the driver did not get his DRIFT.

| I got the rest, but I'm 99.99% sure "dapled" isn't a word. Did you mean "dappled?" |
