A RIDDLE FROM A HIGHER BEING ....

Good day all,

I hope your week is running smoothly. I'd like to welcome my new friends and I always THRILLED to see my faithful friends who still visit me even though I have been dreadfully lacking visiting them lately. Please forgive me. I am still playing catch up. We have all been there, so I hope you understand. I have missed visiting you all so much and can't wait to find out what you are all up to in your lives.

I should have lots more time next week. So please be patient, I will get around to say hi....

Today's ff/riddle was so much fun to write. I hope you enjoy it. Yesterday's seemed to confuse several of you. Oh, my God was the answer that I revealed to you, the question was WHY has it become such a phenomenon?


My special guest today wants you to guess, so please accommodate him, he can get nasty... LOL. And remember, the answer begins with "P." I shouldn't've said that ...

Have a great day everyone!


Odd creatures; humans. They start their day with an aromatic elixir called coffee of all things. “Liquid energy,” some say. Personally I found it to be mundane and common. I prefer something a bit more tasty.
Rushing throughout the day in attire unbecoming to any self-respecting entity, they seem to accomplish very little. What exactly do they do in those glass and concrete structures all day long?
Wouldn’t it be more constructive to concentrate on the important things in our existence, like survival?
With so much pollution of our air and waters, and the fact there has been little peace between them across the globe, one would think this would be a first priority, right?
Oh, well, simple minds.
But there is one thing I have in common with this race. I do see it in their art, music, and literature. Perhaps this fundamental instinct alone has kept their survival throughout the millennia.
What is this instinct you ask? Well, being the mischievous creature I am, I certainly wouldn’t blurt it out. So you must leave your answer in the comments.
Now, don’t disappoint me. My respect for your kind is already dangling from a fine thread.

I have no idea (so no one can cheat off my answer!!!), but can't wait to find out. :)

Hmmm. I'm stumped. I can't think of any "P" words that would fit this.

Johanna Garth said...

No idea and now I desperately want a cup of coffee ;)

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Too vague. I was thinking cockroaches until we got to the arts. And I realized it didn't begin with P.

Linda Gray said...

I'm dying to know what this coffee-hating critter is! Love his snarky voice.

Laura said...

erm ... procreation.... obviously not, but its the only p word in my head :)

Unknown said...

Well it is not Poseidon because he is not mischievous so my guess is Pan.

Ella said...

I was thinking petrie dish, then procreation came to mind! Clever post...

Michael Di Gesu said...

Good guess Ella... As are the others'. But not the word I chose.

Jarm Del Boccio said...

Hmmm...porcupine? Platypus? Poodle? I can't think of anything, but I'll assume your words like 'instinct' hanging by a thread, and mischievous creature are clues...my brain isn't working today! Just stopping by from the Challenge...
