I Won't Let You Down
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I've many holes but I will never leak
Not comfortable? Just give me a tweak
Though often together most of the day
Come bedtime we'll go our separate ways
Life without me might be kind of a drag
'Cause when I'm not around things tend to sag
Doing my job, your reliable mate
This is a "hold-up" you'll appreciate
What am I?

Normally, one wouldn't wear their trousers to bed and therefore also not their belt.
lines 5-6:
One's trousers may droop and potentially drag on the floor/ground without a belt.

The belt is a reliable "companion" which holds up one's trousers.
The title alludes to the function of a belt which is to hold up (or not let down) one's trousers.

I thought it was 'trousers' - the leg and waist holes, take them off for bed etc Great teaser - I like it!
I didn't look at the answer yet, but I began to get it after seeing a hold up you'll like. As I revied the clues i knew I had it.
This is definetly a quiz for men as women seldom wear belts . At least I do not. I thought of everything imaginable that I wear and came up with nothing, so it is a little biased I would say!
Funny, the only thing I could think of was a bra, which also fits the clues rather well.
I agree with Babe & elentir. I never wear belts but my husband always does, and my mind went straight to a bra. Good one.
Nicely written,but very easy for me. Good morning GW,hope all is well.
I was a little nervous to find out what the answer was because I was just thinking of underwear, too! But, belt is a good one! Thanks for the quiz - I got a good laugh! CB, all is well in MI - life is good! Have a wonderful day everyone - only about 50 more days until spring!
I also thought bra. I agree with the others who say that women seldom wear belts. I own a couple but hardly ever use them.
lol-I also went to bra-glad not to be alone-enjoyed the riddle, regardless
I also thought it was a bra. hahahaha
Never thought a belt. lol good one.
Never thought a belt. lol good one.
I first thought "bra" but then settled on "girdle" - do people even wear girdles anymore? For those who thought "belt" was sexist, "bra" would be even more so!! Good teaser!!
LOL ... I was thinking bra too !!! I'm new to this site but it seems to be alot of fun !!!
Ohhh...I wasn't the only one thinking "bra". Now I feel like kicking myself. Great brain teaser!
