But I'll never have a wife.

But not given life.

nice
I thought it was a scarecrow, until i saw the part about water bringing life and sun bringing death.
beautifully written - very clever!!
I got this right! Cool teaser!
You got me. Very clever. My top hat is off to you
Good quiz!
Oooops! I thought it was a river. The mouth of a river and the sun can dry it up. Oh well! Snowman is good too. HA!
Oh Yeah, I forgot that also they say and sing"Old man river." It all fit!
I was thinking river also... sorry Frosty.
I thought of the man in the moon - and when the sun shines the moon is gone. Oh well, either too early or too late for me. Well written riddle - thanks!
I was with Babe on this one. Oh well can't get them all!!
I thought it was a lake. Oops!

Nice Teaser - Well done

Since it's winter the first thing that popped into my head was snowman. Nice to get one right for a change.
Very nicely written. I agree with several who thought river; that was my answer. By the way, I live in FL...what is a snowman??!!
"old man river" is a body of water; it has a mouth; the sun can evaporate it - so those of us who chose "river" should get partial credit! Nice teaser! and I am also from Florida, so "snowman" is not something I would quickly think of!
Simple, got it! River man?

Frosty had a wife.
Good riddle. Fairly easy
Need to drop the difficulty level a few points
Great teaser! I was far off but, who cares? Although Frosty the snowman gets a wife. But still, very clever!!
Easy teasy. But, perhaps the title put me in the right frame of mind to avoid being distracted by the river solution.
Well written and fun! A terrific riddle. Me likey.

At first I also thought it was a river but, then just as I was going to click on answer, the title caught my eye. I knew river had to be wrong, after some thought it hit me that it was snowman. I thought this was a cute riddle and fun.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got this one right away before I finished reading the entire teaser.
