I Won't Let You Down
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I've many holes but I will never leak
Not comfortable? Just give me a tweak
Though often together most of the day

Doing my job, your reliable mate
This is a "hold-up" you'll appreciate
