    Share Share Post
    I heard most of the following riddles from my aunt.
    Where was moses when the light went out.
    In the dark.
    Three parts of a cross.
    And a circle complete.
    Two semi circles,
    And have them to meet,
    Right angle,
    Triangle,
    Put that on two feet.
