The Fourth Dimension
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
Run a little faster, dear
You haven't caught me yet
Even as I slip away
Moving faster than a jet
I'll go a little slower, dear
Just to watch you squirm
I'm creeping, crawling, inching by
With such impatience do you burn!
I really am a constant, dear
The rest is in your head
I'll be there when you wake from sleep
And when you go to bed
You haven't caught me yet
Even as I slip away
Moving faster than a jet
I'll go a little slower, dear
Just to watch you squirm
I'm creeping, crawling, inching by
With such impatience do you burn!
I really am a constant, dear
The rest is in your head
I'll be there when you wake from sleep
And when you go to bed
Hint
Do you require more, dear?Well, here's a thought to prowl
I have no ending, nor a start
But I'm only in the here and now.
Answer
You want my identity now, dearSo I shall no more hide
Who else fits my description thus
Than ever changing Time?
(The title refers to the fact that the fourth dimension is often associated with time.)
