Betrayal of the Body
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
The fateful decision was made this morning
But this day did not arrive without warning
For quite some time we've been growing together
But apparently our relationship is just fair-weather
Your strange mentality of less being more
Has led to your own members having fallen to the floor
An amputation without anesthetic
For you seems to be copacetic
What am I?
