1
you are the food of love
that cannot pass my lips
but permeates my whole being
shakespeare could never
have enough of you
2
you are the life source
from above
without you comes death
but in the sea you are everywhere
with one pint comes death
3
you disobeyed God
your curiosity
was your downfall
now your remains
reside in a shaker
flavouring fish and chips
1. pomegranate
ReplyDelete2. rain/water
3. Lots wife
i really did not think old willies pom allergy was well published, so good work there...smiles.
1. is incorrect. It is contained in a quote from Shakespeare's
Delete" Twelfth Night" and is played on the lute.
Great writing!
ReplyDeleteI guess,
chocolate/wine and the mention of shakespeare makes me think of poetry
water
apple
:-)
ha - never enough words - not even for shakespeare... and heck that last one on lot's wife...goodness...in the salt shaker...ha...oh my...smiles
ReplyDeleteAh.. yes very clever riddles... the first one is probably easy among poets.
ReplyDelete1. 'Music be the food of love, play on!'
ReplyDelete2. Blood that gives life
3. Curiosity kills the cat. But the shaker? Must be pepper
Great play, Cressida!

1. is correct...Music.
DeleteNumber 2: salt water? Good riddles.
ReplyDeleteOh good stuff!
ReplyDeleteMusic, water and Lots wife?
Anna :o]
2. water 3. salt
ReplyDeletethese are lovely, Cressida
Quite a challenge. I couldn't figure out the first one. Very good.
ReplyDelete1. poetry - but of course that passes Shakespeare's lips ... so is it music - he only wrote plays - ?
ReplyDelete2. it isn't rain (one pint doesn't bring death) .. nor the sun... Carbon Dioxide?
3. Salt
Good ones! And I love the way you posed it as a question to the reader (And thanks for the title reference, this is now linked to permanently on my "honored to be mentioned" section of my blog!)
ReplyDeleteI figured music, water, Lot's Wife - but I'm not sure of the second one, it's the 'pint' part that has me stumped. Whew!
Smiles to Sam
ReplyDelete1 Music
2 Water
3 Lot's Wife
If you drink a pint of salt water your kidneys will fail and you will die.So if you get shipwrecked in the ocean...keep your mouth closed!My Grandfather's boat was torpedoed in WW2. He was lucky because he was on deck for smoko (everyone in the engine room died instantly) when he got blown into the water and was there clinging to wreckage for 2 days before he got picked up.So I know about this stuff!
Oh, what a great solution - a pint of salt water & your kidneys - it's one of those items that, if I'd read it somewhere else, would have stuck in my head and made me more sure. Now it all fits... Well done!
