I’m not a fan of hot weather conditions. Yeah, there’s a pun hiding in plain sight, there. But I’m not gonna pun-ish you, more, right now. If you’ve been staying inside to lounge in the coolness of air conditioning, believe me, I’m with ya man. And it IS a manly thing to do. Here’s why.

Hot weather conditions can wring rhymes right out of the air.

At least they can for the writer who dares to relax in the air conditioning with his (or her, and those are the only two choices) head in the metaphorical clouds. Oh, and his mind off things that don’t matter.

Aye, as they say in olde Arland (that’s Irish phonics for Ireland), and that’s just what I allowed m’self ta do just a sprinklin’ over 10 years ago. And the result is this Rhyme Time riddle. Forget the hot weather conditions for a few minutes. And see if the wee lads and lassies can solve it and tell me…

Where I Am Now

Can you guess where I am now?

I am hiding in plain sight.

You might think I’m in the grass,

And you’d almost be just right.

But the grass is just close by.

It can see me. So can you,

If you know right where to look…

If you read this riddle through.

I’m in something you might love

And on something you might see

In the front yard or in back.

Take a look and you’ll see me.

Little bugs crawl on my face,

And some worms dig down inside.

Where my wrinkles crinkle up,

There are places they can hide.

But now here’s a little twist…

I am somewhere else as well.

In a puppy? In a dog?

Read this riddle…it will tell.

If that puppy sees a cat

Climbing up the Aspen bough,

Then the clues will all be there

Showing you where I am now.
