    With potent, flowery words speak I,
    Of something common, vulgar, dry;
    I weave webs of pedantic prose,
    In effort to befuddle those,
    Who think I wile time away,
    In lofty things, above all day
    The common kind that linger where
    Monadic beings live and fare;
    Practical I may not be,
    But life, it seems, is full of me!

    Thank you.

    When my first is a task to a young girl of spirit,
    And my second confines her to finish the piece,
    How hard is her fate! but how great is her merit
    If by taking my whole she effects her release!

    The answer was hemlock. Hem-lock. Whoever wants to post a riddle can do it.

    Please don't kill me if I posted this one before.

    We have a servant. Her skin is brown.
    Her daughters' skin is green, but turns black as they grow up.
    Who is our servant?

    Potato? That has brown skin and starts off green and would turn black eventually.

    HB has the first really exact guess and it has been more than 24 hours. Thus, HB should post a new riddle.

    My riddles are not very clever and Carcaroth's guess is just as specific as mine so in the absence of any other information, he should go before me.

    pish,

    I hate trying to come up with riddles.

    Not a very good one I'm afraid.

    What goes in like water and comes out like rock? what am I?

    I'm sorry for not replying. Gah, my Internet left me for a while.

    The usual answer would actually have been that the servant is an Olive tree, and that the daughters are the olives.

    But I like the potatoe answer a lot.

    Carcaroth... certainly not laxitives!


    Molten lava from an underwater volcanoe? Nice and smooth, and then poof! Rock!

    Or sticking any drink into a freezer?
