We Work Together
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
My name may suggest that we separate
But we are designed to cooperate
If not given a secure place to stay
One of us may suddenly roll away
Together we are a tineless classic
And we're made of wood, metal, or plastic
What are we?

Answer
chopstickslines 1-2: The word "chop" may suggest separation, when in fact chopsticks must be joined, or must "cooperate", in order to be useful.
lines 3-4: There are specially-designed holders for chopsticks to keep them from rolling away while they are not in use.
lines 5-6: Without tines such as those of a fork, chopsticks are "tineless" (poetic license, and sounds like "timeless"). They are made of various materials.
