Nothing Like a Good Old Joke …

\nYou want a riddle? Here’s an age old quicky
\nIt isn’t really funny or profound.
\n“What it is that is always brown and sticky
\nAnd often found abandoned on the ground?”<\/p>\n
I’ll wait until you’ve finished speculating
\nAnd thought of answers far from pure and clean.
\nThere could be others that you’re contemplating
\nI must admit there’s others I have seen.<\/p>\n
It’s almost time to give you the solution
\nI bet you’ve guessed it really isn’t hard.
\nThe humour content’s rather Lilliputian
\nThis sonnet’s one you really should discard.<\/p>\n
You’re ready for the intellectual kick?
\nThe brown and sticky object is a stick!<\/p>\n
