Pure Folly
With the head of an elephant,
and the tail of a monkey,
My touch can be deadly if you're unlucky.
I'm an excellent swimmer,
But if you wet me I'll holler,
And racing me would be pure folly.

Nice riddle it was fun!!!!
*sob* i thought it was a cheetah couldn't figure out the elephant head part, though...i guess that's why it's wrong!
i apologize for my run-on sentence
Good one! I liked it! Keep 'em coming!
It was cool, i culdnt work out the head of an elephants bit, but i thaught it was a cat
Fun, and enjoyable reading. Loved the riddle, good job! Nicely done and hope to see more from you.
I don't get the elephant head or monkey tail part.
I liked it.
Funny, I got the head and tail part, but didn't understand the other references (excellent swimmer, it will holler when wet). Nice teaser, though..
i was all messd up! Good one!
that was a tricky one
i thought it was a cobra
Elephant head and monkey tail????
Didn't get this one at all
Didn't get this one at all
Maybe you didn't get it because it was wrong. I guess you could just write anything and say it's "this" or "that" but if the clues are wrong... well it's a bad riddle.
Also wanted to point out that water is a very poor conductor of electricity, despite what you might think. Want proof? Wet your finger with water from a drinking bottle, and lay it across a 9 volt battery... nothing. The water is pure enough to be called water. Now add some salt to the water and try it again... get ready for a little tingle.
It was good but easy! Thanks for the fun!
Yeah the first three letters are "ele", so that justiries the head reference. The tail ending with a "y" was a bit of a stretch though. Your basic facts are also misleading.
Typo, "justifies".
Hmm, I think an explanation of the clues in the answer would help us all out, Good one though
I didn't quite understand the clues... I thought it was a cheetah too! LOL
Potentially very good, but the good swimmer and "wet me I'll holler" clues I think could be improved.
Wow, cool teaser! Very clever!
I Didnt Understand Elephant head and Monkey Tail
I didnt Get It Either Just Like Sprringe
