That was hard! I didn't come up with anything, but once I'd looked at the answer and re-read the riddle all the clues are there.
Also, looking at the other comments here can anyone tell me what WTB means?

Best Braingle in a while! Thanks.
I got the answer, but still wasn't sure if I was right. That was good!
Totally over my head.
Clues were a little comfusing,but was fairly easy.The word blind gave it away.
Nice rhyme but I didn't get it.
Excellent! Very clever and well written. Really the epitome of a good riddle!!
Too bad I had to use the hint...

Good one! I didn't get it and the clue didn't help...but it seemed so obvious when I saw the answer...
you call that a teaser..well alrighty then..
Even with the hint, I didn't get this one. Not sure if it was hard or if I just had a brain cramp!
I definitely didn't get the answer to that one...but it was awesome nonetheless! Great rhyming, by the way!
Ugh. That was an awful riddle. The very first clue made no sense, and the following ones were no better. The only people who got this were the writer himself, and the posers who pretended to.
