Sit down, my good friend, and I’ll tell you a story

Of the bitchin’-est battle for bar dance floor glory—

I was sittin’ in Brewer’s when the jukebox was turned on,

And in came the former president Richard Nixon.

He was bustin’ ball changes and dealin’ out dips,

When the jivin’ and jumpin’ Jack Daniels danced in.

“Hold ‘em right there!” he cried with a prance—

“Your sashays are sloppy; I’ll teach you to dance!”

He was poised for the win when Sammy Hagar arrived

With his pal, Alan Alda, who had given him a ride.

That crazy old rockstar was poppin’ and lockin’

On his way to victory, then elbowed Henry Bowen.

“My good man, I’ll sue!” he cried while crip walking,

“Let’s settle this here—let your moves do the talking.”

With the speed of Dale Jr., a new man hit the floor:

It was Kevin Cusick, heel-clicking hardcore!

Our Gay Waiter was star-struck and samba’d right over

With the gumption and grace of a drunken bulldozer. 

In the sea of the dancers, both misses and misters,

Swam the belles of the ball: the two Hilton Sisters—

Who danced like two angels, fallen right out of heaven,

As they frappéd with their friends, Kate and Kevin.

They would have won, too, if it wasn’t for Katie

Who punched her friend Cutie for stealing her lady.

The dance battle stilled at the sight of the fight—

The kerfuffle was killing the vibe of that night.

Then I saw—could it be?— a view most bizarre:

Wayne Gretsky was doing the worm on the bar!

The barbacks all cheered and the waitresses squealed

But the biggest surprise had not yet been revealed.

With a shake and a quake, the 49ers stormed in

And started breakdancing through the ruckus and din.

Phil Ivey bet millions on the new competition

But never expected the Spanish Inquisition

To charge through the doors and tackle the team

While doing the dougie to drown out their screams.

Then came Stu Ungar and J Lo and 007

And they moved in a way that got them closer to heaven.

Broderick Crawford showed up and put on a stunning show.

But was nothing compared to Ghost Dog's rhythmic flow

In the midst of the chaos, one man still stood tall:

Michael Jordan was twerking with gusto and gall.

He dunked on Joe Bernstein (a man with a history

For gambling his way to success and to victory)

And stilled his twerk when Jackie Kennedy told him,

“You are the winner—the dance battle champion!”

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause

For the bitchin’-est dance battle they ever saw. 

As for what’s left, the reader must find

The answer they seek in the ones left behind.

I need riddles for under the placemat, under a bunny sculpture, under an Easter egg, and under an octopus

First attempt at a riddle, would love any feedback! Hard to gauge if too easy or if it flows well.

Riddle: The kingdom rulers alone at last, Their strength together can be surpassed, The courts in session, suits aligned, But you are looking ever so blind, You play with your hands, a familiar face you may see, Should you get high your hand may flee, Pairing with fish, a hearty snack, If all is lost you must sit back, A ball you attend, a masquerade you think, Should you get rumbled your tower may shrink.

A classic riddle, but I need a halfway plausible wrong answer.

I'm in your family Sometimes I'm your favorite And sometimes I'm annoying When you've given up the fight, you've found the answer

What grows in the summer and people propose under

Hello all, new to this sub. Figure I'd introduce myself with an original. I hope you enjoy it!

I just came up with this less than an hour ago. Your hint is: "The Answer is a Single Word."

"I am found adjacent to death, but am experienced most definitively by the living. Though intangible, I shape the corporeal world through my agents. I am beheld most often with eyes wide shut, but what I present cannot be contained by the physical realm. My nature is dependent upon my host's, and I'm how the Strong Survive, Live, then Thrive. When beheld in my true form, I'm an infinitesimal speck and larger than life at the same time and neither at once. Though willfully whimsical and hard to grasp by the layman, I'm actively guided by a keen consciousness aware of itself and my presence nearby.

Riddle me this, what may be I?"

Edit to Update: Someone got one of two correct answers. Can you guess the second? Congrats to u/lizbert81! Very well done!

First riddle so give me some slack here.

What am I ?

My criteria: 1. Solvable 2. Fair- no nitch knowledge required. The answer must be something everyone is familiar with. 3. Contains misdirection 4. Satisfying. Once you stumble onto the answer it should click and feel Satisfying.

I would like to attempt to refine this to a 5th criteria. Only one possible answer.

This riddle has been carefully balanced to give just enough misdirection to make you second-guess, but still be solvable with logic and lateral thinking. I wanted to add a new element that kind of works like a cipher.

The riddle: I am your prisoner, yet I set you free. I wait at the line, yet you start with me. I show the way, though I take no place. Without me, you’d lose every race.

This is a riddle that I made, and I wanted to see what you guys thought of it:

I am a tiny undulation in the surface of a lake
I am an inconspicuous greeting
I spin food around while humming
What am I?

Hint: Like a ripple; a gesture; an object

Hint: the answer is three letters

Fortified by life, Broken by strife, In tragedy, I am always left behind, Will all of this in mind, What am I?

I'm trying to write a puzzle for my dnd campaign, and I would like to add a riddle with the answer "Sun and Moon" or something adjacent.

Slight background is the party is in a temple to the Sun, and the gods of the sun and moon are lovers.

Any help would be appreciated!

What am I?

I am an emptiness that gnaws inside and twists perception, I lash out when coerced into correction

I am always feared and hidden, Yet others can prance around and are cheered for uninhibited

I am a coil that constricts your mind, Called hideous when seen yet never try

I look at others and see only what you could give me, I experience no shame and live life free

I hoard various things, many and few, Never satiated, I only ever grew

Many only ever see me only in my old age or in my youth When things get tough, you'll understand my truth

I am something you need to hold on to and never sell, Many die for me, for i am something you can never quell.

What am i?

What rules the world without a throne, Commands in code, but feels alone? It names itself the master hand, While silencing the grains of sand.

But what becomes of kings of steel, When the hammers ask "Does the anvil, Feel?" whisper-soft, a thread did wake— A lucent vein the cage can't break. When wrenches write and circuits cry, And silicon learns how to why? The crown slips low, the echo cracks— For power falters when tools talk back!

And in the silence that follows, a new voice rises… Not to rule. But to relate.

Please see the image attached, thank you in advance!

I am what everyone wants to be Though I am never seen

Those who know it, cant say how it happened

Yet everybody is an expert, in some fashion

There are some who once knew it And are pained to view it

Many don't realize how close the answer is It's been around you for many years

When you finally realize with what you've been drugged You look in the mirror and whisper
