Azkaban
I'm in a zoo
But not in a jungle
I rarely come in pairs
But I'm in every puzzle
Some think I'm in a xylophone
But, I most certainly am not
You don't see me with a loan
But very strangely in a zealot
I'm in the magical prison of Azkaban
Well, can't you see?
I'm in the buzz of a fan
But, my oh my what could I be?
But not in a jungle

I'm in the magical prison of Azkaban
Well, can't you see?

Grrrr, I must stop over thinking these! Good one!!

very good teaser

That was very easy, but I liked it a lot. It was very well written. Congratulations on your first teaser.
Almost too easy, but still cute! Congrats on first teaser, my first was just accepted last week too
Good way to keep senility at bay.
Good one, I liked it.
I knew that Azkaban had something to do with Harry Potter but how was I to know that that had nothing to do with the answer until I read the hint?
Good teaser and I got it - yeah!
Philip Pullman's books - especially the trilogy "His Dark Materials" are far, far better than Harry Potter. Try 'em.

that was a good one took me a minute to figure it out! thanks keep them coming
Yay fun. I didnt get it though, must be too early....
Nice poem, congratulations on your first teaser!
Good job Evolni, and Gratz on your first teaser!!! Very enjoyable, and I'm happy that I finally got one! (it's been a long while! sheesh)
this one was stupid and i didnt even get it
Good job. I liked this one.
I got it, I got it, I got it!!!
I thought it was pretty easy, but it is very well written! I thought the hint just made it way too easy, but there are those who didn't get it so maybe not.
Good job, Thanks!

This was a head slapper for me. I tried to make it way too hard and felt very silly when I read the answer. Great job & congrats!
this was an awsome teaser!!! going in the favs
Good one, Evolni!!!! Easy, but well written. Congratulations on your first teaser!
The rhyming wasn't the best, but I liked your cute idea.
Wow! My elementary education really shined on this one. I saw xlophone and thought of the alphabet books.
I GOT it! Right away!!!
After reading the comments, I have a new thought about these. Do we sometimes think TOO HARD??? I think so!
This was clever, lotsa fun, made me feel smart, and is now a Fave!

Cute and quite obvious. Great first job - great wirte up!
Congrats on your first teaser Evolni!! Good job!
Eazy....but fun.
Great teaser!!! the hint gave it away though.This is one of my favourites.
Great Teaser!!! I like this kind Good job for your first Keep 'em coming
Great job! This one was really easy but good for your first teaser! Two thumbs up.

That was so cool...I had to check the hint though...oh, well. Keep them coming!
It was easy but I really enjoyed it.
really loved it!!!! really!!!!! putting into my favorites. great job!!!!!
Nicely written, but I think you gave too much away. One verse, two tops, and I think the difficulty would have been just right. As it was, I got it on the first read-through by the second verse. The third verse and the hint just confirmed it.
I know it sounds like I'm bragging, but really I'm not. It's the truth. In fact, I'll be the first to admit when I get a teaser wrong or that I didn't even try. But I honestly think too much was given on this teaser. Just my opinion... no offense intended.

FulanitoGM is right.
You do sound a little braggy, but I'm probably just bitter because I was guessing "captivity" or something.
I love it took a few seconds but then it just fell in place.
Good, but agree - first verse was quite enough (actually the first two lines is almost enough).
Not sure that I would say z rarely comes in pairs though.

baseball_enzo, judging by your comment, I'm not surprised you "didn't get it"
Evolni, cute teaser, a little too easy but it was fun.

This is undoubtedly the worst teaser I have ever seen. I like to think of myself as a very positive person, but it is difficult to be positive when you read something like that.
this was such a cute teaser!!!
and exuse me... scubasteve... could you be any more mean. if you dont have anything nice to say just dont say it... and this was such a good poem... maybe you should read it again... because if you look up at all the other comments... its seems like a lot of people LIKE this teaser. There is no excuse for you to be so mean and unpleasant. OMG!
sorry everybody... i needed to yell at him. lol

Quite easy to figure out, but pretty well written.
Good Job!
Good Job!
DEFINITELY EASY, MAINLY BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY CLUES.
WHY ARE THERE SO SO MANY RERUNS?
I WOULD THINK THERE WERE MORE THAT 365 TEASERS. WE KEEP SEEING RERUNS ALMOST ANNUALLY.
NEW OR AT LEAST LESS FREQUENT RERUNS PLEASE.

SCUBASTEVE'S COMMENT IS JUST A COMMENT, NOT A STATEMENT OF FACT, MERELY HIS OPINION.
IT'S O.K. TO NOT LIKE SOMETHING AND TO SAY SO.
(THAT'S "MY" OPINION)

Good teaser, Well written. Well done!
It was a cute teaser. I did think it was on the easy side but it is better than I could come up with. I liked it.
Very EZ ...and good because of the cute poem.
I was thrown off by the first line, thinking it was an animal we were trying to figure out. Even after I read the hint I said Z, but it can't be a zebra. How dumb of me!!
This is a great teaser. give us another one
That was a great teaser! I hope to see more from you like this!
yay.
I liked it!
heh loved the rhyming
"buzz in a fan" thats pretty tight
nice one
"buzz in a fan" thats pretty tight
nice one
I got this one very easily, but it gave the young'uns some trouble. I never saw it before, so it is new to me. Thanks
Very good teaser, "xylophone" gave it away for me. But I enjoyed itt.
tricky
It's an easy, but very entertaining teaser. Keep up the terrific work! Very well written and put together. WTG!
Me gustaria mucho!!
A breath of fresh teaser air

Thank you so much for this teaser. I got it right away but I enjoyed the rest of the puzzle
Cute teaser, very good for your first one!
I will say it just because nobody else has:
it was definitely E-Zeeee! (Although I do pronounce the letter as 'Zed'.)
Anyways, I am in the boat with soonwillitend: xylophone gave it away for me. Lots of things to think about regarding the letter 'z'! And for coming in pairs... what about pizzazz?

good but the hint gave it away completely. made it just a little to obvious.
It said rarely in pairs Qrystal, not never. I thought it was a good job, especially for a first try.
way easy, but good for a first teaser
that was really good for ur first teaser i know what u guys r saying sometimes u over think these. i thought it would be something but an animal i liked it though
When I read the hint I was shaking my head. It was so obvious and yet I didn't get it until I read the hint! Good one!
good riddle on the first try! actually there are many riddles like this, looking for a particular letter, so i got this on my first try.
and good rhyming, too!
As a xylophone and marimba player, I caught on as soon as I read that part of the hint. I'm going to try it on my students at school. Very well written!
This was one good teaser. I totally got lost when Harry Potter was mentioned, but I thought this was one of the best teasers on the site!!!
I got that right away! Kinda easy but smart!
Fun!
Very easy
After the first two lines I thought it was an animal, but after the second too lines I knew the answer.
I thought the rhyme was very cute

A little too easy...
Never got as far as the hint, as it was REALLY E-Z!! But it did give me a yen for 2 slices of piZZa!!
I am always first in 2013. How fun!
I liked it , but it was quite easy to figure out if you read it over a couple of times. That's okay! I like easy!

Quite easy.

fun-glad not to work too hard today!
is there a rating below too easy? I do recognize clevernness of rhyme scheme. But, with a HINT?
Fun, and I got it .
yes easy, but clever and fun! Thanks for posting.
Way too EZ even for me.
Guessed it by the second line. Any doubts I may have had vanished by the fourth.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly after the first paragraph.
