Yes, remember the Riddle Game topic? Fun times, weren't they? Let's see if we can start it up again (though I doubt it.) I'll ask a riddle, and the person who gets it first posts the next one. Simple.

Here we go.

A dozen Royals gathered round,
Entertained by two who clowned.
Each King there had servants ten,
Though none of them were also men.
The lowest servant sometimes might,
Defeat the King in a fair fight.
A weapon stout, a priceless jewel,
The beat of life, a farmer's tool.

sounds like sex with concubines to me but then im not sure

Er, no. Way off.

damn worth a shot
but just wondering isnt there meant to be a question at the end of a riddle

Not necessarily. But do look at the last two lines, it's a dead giveaway when you think about it.

hmmm nope never was good at these things

Sounds like two men jousting for the fair maiden or at least gettin on with her lol. Nice ryhme.

Nope. Again, look at the last two lines. Describing four different, unrelated things. What are they describing? That will lead you to the answer.

I would answer the riddle but I don't have a riddle of my own to state.

Ah, heck with it.  It's a deck of pocker cards.

To keep things moving, here's one I wrote:

Summoned with a simple command,
Travels far yet will never stand,
Bites the cold, reveals unseen,
Feeds on that which once was green.

time or death
nope wrong again

I think that the first one might be a chess game?

Not sure.... but a I do have another riddle.

If I may...

My guesses for the 2nd riddle:

a snail?  fungus?  toadstools?  can you summon a toadstool??

hmm....

how about a tree?  but isn't a tree standing????

okay...well, how about the wind?  hot chocolate?????

Maybe I need to go back to my thinking chair, mister.
