I’m sharing another riddle from “Way Down Yonder on Troublesome Creek Appalachian Riddles & Rusties” by James Still.

Can’t find it in ocean, or in ground,
Or in air, or in town,
Yet it’s here, and everywhere.

The last riddle I shared was from James Still:

Big at the bottom
Little at the top
Thing in the middle
Goes ker-flippety-flop.

Then answer: a churn.

  1. Well, now that there have been two answers, I can’t get pass them to think originally that something else might work. This riddle looks to be a case of hiding in plain sight or – even more accurately – being hidden right before one’s eyes.

    Reminds me of the old “railroad crossing, look out for cars. Can you spell that without any “r”s?

    1. If you can include whole words then you have *her* and *ere*. And yes, for the younger folks, *ere* is a word, as in “Ere you left your room this morning”. If you don’t know that song then you are hopeless.

  2. A churn! That never crossed my mind, and I don’t have a clue what this new one is. I guess I’ll have to think on it and see of something comes.
