Chains For All
The rich and poor have me, but with chains it's true
I can be involved in a purchase for you
If only you hold my value and work
within my bounds with control you don't shirk.
I leave you now with a couple more thoughts,
of lessons, since in the beginning I've taught,
I am the omnipotent medicine for sure
a sky dweller's skill mine in happy furores
I can be involved in a purchase for you
If only you hold my value and work
within my bounds with control you don't shirk.
I leave you now with a couple more thoughts,
of lessons, since in the beginning I've taught,
I am the omnipotent medicine for sure
a sky dweller's skill mine in happy furores
Hint
On occasions my height is questioned but thisIs usually when line four's, message is missed
Well you will do, to enjoy my chains
For life is all about this sort of vein
If you are skilled and solve me before
you look at the answer then something's for sure
The following puzzle I am part of, and you
give life to its meaning if it's one that you knew

Answer
Did you get it, or have you just given in?Just wanted the answer in this poetic din
But wait! you might solve, if you're patient and think
and into this riddle you let your mind sink
But don't waste too much on working it out
For the answer below I am going to shout
There's still a chance you can not be 'just close'
Just give a little more TIME! as the dose... Dang - too late.
The answer is TIME.
Explanation:
BODY:
The rich and poor have me, but with chains it's true - everyone has the same amount of time in a day to use and the chains are the limit of time we all have
I can be involved in a purchase for you
If only you hold my value and work
within my bounds with control you don't shirk. - sometimes it can be said that you can 'buy more time' but only if you manage and control your time well
I leave you now with a couple more thoughts,
of lessons, since in the beginning I've taught, - often lessons of life can be called 'timeless' or 'age-old' therefore 'since the beginning'
I am the omnipotent medicine for sure - from the expression 'time heals all wounds'
A sky dweller's skill mine in happy furores - a sky dweller's skill is simply flying and happy furores are when you are having fun.. time flies when you're having fun
HINT:
On occasions my height is questioned but this
Is usually when line four's, message is missed - From the expression 'time is short' therefore height is 'short' but often when time maybe hasn't been managed that well, hence ref to line four.
Well you will do, to enjoy my chains
For life is all about this sort of vein - this is the 'nice message' part of the riddle about enjoying life. Kind of from the saying "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." - Benjamin Franklin
If you are skilled and solve me before
you look at the answer then something's for sure
The following puzzle I am part of, and you
give life to its meaning if this riddle you knew
5:3righteous0pm - that's how to get an OUT rebus into a teaser ;) ... the answer of course is 'just' 'in' 'time'. righteous = just and it's in a 'time' and this verse is saying that if you solved it before looking at the answer you solved it just in time. Also 'time' is a part of the puzzle.

i got the answer then i looked @the answer and got confused again v good teaser got me thinking
Holy rusty hubcap, batman. Confusement to the eight power.
I still don't know the answer.
Sorry to be confusing Word six of line eight in the answer is the answer.
Fair enough... but I would have thought a supersmart person like yourself would have had no problems with it ;) . I'll put in a correction to hopefully make it simpler.
Hmmm, and it used to be that people liked the answer in a form of a rhyme... oh well, ho hum
Didn't get this one - even with the hint. Read the answer then it finally sunk in. Very good.
Thanks Froggy, nice to know someone (other than me ) liked it.

Too long of an explanation. Make one that is short, sweet and to the point.
I'm surprised
Great teaser though I had absolutely no idea what the answer would possibly have been and the hint only stumped me more! Thanks for the detailed explanation - I personally liked it and yes, I did read the whole thing.
