I liked to put it in my mouth,
But found, alas, it made me drool...
And when I really thought on that,
I felt I looked like quite the fool!
So I put it behind my ear,
And would you guess what happened then?
I next forgot I put it there!
Yeah, and then what good was that, my friend?

"clothespin" according to Jenny Gordon 😉
Hahaha! What'd you do...google it? Rascal. Congratulations!
lol
I give up. What was it?
Half a clothespin...they inevitably break, so I used to wait awhile to fix them, but after that problem, I've been fixing them immediately...or dumping them back in the clothespin bag for later. Now, I was wondering what other object would likewise fit the poem...surely not only half a clothespin?
Aw, I was going to guess a pencil.. Anyway, cute poem! I thought it so fun, would you consider doing more riddle-poems?
Oh, good! I thought there were other possibilities....should we have done our guessing privately and kept it a perpetual riddle? Tomorrow I'm hoping to post another, after that it's back to the scratch pad; I have an unfinished one from several months ago...and then the possibilities are.....??? Thanks for the encouragement to continue...its a fun challenge!....YOU should try!
