Riddle 1

    This is a Ladies pretty treasure
    Five fingers span will tell its measure.
    Formed of softest skin outside,
    Within, the warmest nooks reside
    The first attempt wil cause some pain,
    For entrance then is hard to gain
    But once the fittings done with care,
    Both large and small can nestle there.

Riddle 2

    It's smooth and firm, with pointed tip,
    But shaggy round the verges,
    In the dark place, it's put to dip,
    and moistly then emerges.
    'Tis sometimes said that only men
    Have properly applied it,
    And yet it goes more sweetly when
    A Lady's hand will guide it.
  
Riddle 3

    Two Twins we are with plural name
    Though labor together with single aim
    Supplying a vital instrument
    To service the ladies and keep them content
    When their fitting is ready and all is plumb
    Clapping together we stoutly come.


By now you are thinking scurrilous thoughts! 
Shame on you. The answers are clean and not
the least bit dirty. Now guess once again.

been years (c. 1977) since I received these. -- CW]
