Nope, no faces, just cheeks… properly attired of course! 😉
Ohhhhh–why did I not think of that? Dang…
Great encore, Laura!
Thanks, Michelle–cheek to cheek–genius. 🙂

I like this hope you have a nice weekend I was wondering if you like my poem for 15 words
I responded to it, Jessica, just before you posted this. I always respond when I can, though it sometimes takes a day two to get to them…

This was the first riddle that stumped me…not sure if I would have gotten the addendum poem if I had seen it before the answer, but I love the dancing cheek to cheek! And maybe that chair is thinking: your legs brush against mine. Oo-la-la!
Ooh-la-la, indeed. LOVE that! Honestly, group poems can be so much fun!

I was thinking “backpack” when I saw the first riddle 🙂
Thanks, Tabatha–I am LOVING hearing what answers people come up with just based on the words.

I kept thinking of the ‘rear’ of something, and thought of clothing, not a chair. Love your revision, too, Laura. Daily fun!
Ah…interesting and helpful–thanks, Linda!
