Here is today's riddle:
Hickamor Hackamor bursts through the window,
Hickamor Hackamor knocks at the door.
Hickamor Hackamor, can't you come in now?
No, he says, please, won't you open the door?
Riddle-me riddle-me riddle-me-ree:
Hickamor Hackamor, who can he be?
clue:
He comes through the window, whether it's open or closed.clue:
He can get through the door if it's open, but not if it's closed.clue:
He never comes to visit you at night, only during the day.reveal/hide answer
Sunshine (sunbeam, daylight, sun).This one was inspired by a traditional riddle which goes:
Hickamor Hackamor over the kitchen door;
all the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't pull Hickamore Hackamore
off the king's kitchen door.
I really like the paradox of being able to get in through the window but not through the door, unless/until you open the door.
