Very nice!
Thanks Tilley!
This one entertained me. I had to determine the whole, then go back to confirm the parts. Very nice.
I'm new to this, so maybe I'm missing something, but I was wondering why you said "meat and fish section" instead of "seafood section." The latter is a little less misleading and has alliteration. Like I said, though, maybe I am missing your reason, Either way, I could never create one of my own, so, good job.
I forgot to mention, LOVE the title.
Hi AmandaLee. You have a good point. The only reason is to maintain the meter i.e. to keep the number of "beats" in each line the same. It's something I do with most of my riddles, but probably goes unnoticed by most. Thanks very much for your comments!
