WHAT'S THE RIDDLE THEY ASK YOU?, by         Recitation         Poet's Biography
Last Line: I don't know
Subject(s): Riddles


What's the riddle that they ask you
When you're young and you say, 'I don't know,'
But that later on you will know--
The riddle that they ask you
When you're old and you say, 'I don't know,'
And that's the answer?"
I don't know.
