The Rice’s Riddle
December 6, 2021
A chameleon
I’m white
But I’m brown too
Add saffron
And I’m yellow
Add annatto
And suddenly
I’m red
Yet I can be
Purple
Even black
A shapeshifter
Oftentimes
I’m short and fat
Yet other times
I stretch long and skinny
Here I bounce big and round
But over there
I shrink
Small
and
thin
Most times
I’m smooth and dry
But watch out!
I can be sticky
All depends on
How you cook me
If you cook me
Will you cook me?
