i didnt think it would be the moon
made me think and inspired this .. "Though I never turn my chin, from far away I seem to spin,
Sometimes fat and sometimes thin, I must be someone's next of kin .. moon back to you!

When you try to make a rhyme
How I wish you'd take the time
To work it over 'til it trips
And gently falls from smiling lips.
When the rhymes all rhyme and the meters match,
You've got a teaser that's a catch!
With this one just change "pulling"
to "pull,"
And you've got a rhyme that's
wonder - full!!!

Good one! Got it almost immediately. Keep up the good work!
that was interesting
THAT WAS CLEVER AND HARD. IT STUMPED ME.
that was great... I did not think of that!
At first I thought of a current (always pulling) but after reading it again, 'sometimes full' gave it away.
Great teaser!!
Great teaser!!
Ya stumped me again! This was a really good one, tho...

I like it! but I feel stupid that I didn't figure that out
I think this is a cute teaser. It was tricky though. Nice Rhymes
I sit here thinking
While the adds are blinking
I read the teaser one more time
It takes me until noon
But I realize it is the moon

Great riddle. Good work.
Cool. A bit odd, but still.
Have to add my compliments to the list. This was a great teaser. I fully enjoyed it even though I didn't get the correct answer. Thank you so much for posting.
nice riddle. it took me no time & i wasn't sure i would get it 'til it came out of nowhere
Really? There is never no moon? Never sad? Hmmm
Couldn't figure this one out. Guess I was moonstruck!!!
Got it! Very nicely done! Thanks.
That was one great teaser! It was kinda tricky and had me thinking really hard. I liked it! *I give 2 thumbs up!*
Yay! I got it! =) This one took me a while, but it finally came to me. It was the blue clue that helped me, because I was thinking of things that could be painted or dyed, and then I thought of the blue sky, and then voila! There it was! =) Great job!
That was a great teaser! I didn't spend enough time to figure it out - as usual - but you did a fantastic job!
Very nice teaser, I really liked it. Would like to see some more. Maybe I'll get the next one.
"moon" just came to my head like magic = ]. It was a good riddle though
That was too hard for me. Nice poem, though.
Though I appreciate the poem, UncleM. I humbly disagree and like the "pushing/pulling" just the way it is. Well done!
That was fun! I figured it out easily though; it doesn't happen much
It really made sense. Althouh the "Never sad, Sometimes Blue" part confused me a little.
3 years later, and I was moonstruck again. Still didn't know the answer.
Ditto Doehead!
Cute teaser!
Cute teaser!
Good teaser - I had to actually look at the answer. Loved it - especially the Blue Moon part - you don't hear that phrase much anymore "once in a blue moon". In explanation, see: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/bluemoon1.html
loved it. great riddle.

I had to read it over twice but I got it. What gave it away for me was the "sometimes half and sometimes full." Then right away it clicked.
Fun, fun! Thanks for this one.
Fun, fun! Thanks for this one.
Actually got that one pretty quickly, I like these riddles.
A lovely riddle; though quite simple. I was able to solve it straight away. Cannot fathom why so many found it difficult.
Of course I suppose we are ofrensurprised anyone finds anything we find easy difficult.
