Kim, said a friend to me,
I don't see how this could be:
A riddle has been proposed
by someone who says he knows
the answer, he has sworn.
What walks on four legs in the morn,
then two at noon, and three at eve?
This is a tough one, I believe.

I threw a ball hard as I could.
It came right back; I knew it would.
No one caught and threw it back;
it bounced off nothing, that's a fact.
It wasn't tied to rubber band
or any other trick so bland
but freely sailed quite unattached
and very promptly it came back.
Now think about it: can you tell
how I performed this trick so well?
(23)
If you had a hole
four feet deep
by four feet square
how many cubic feet
of dirt would be in there?
