Ur good at this!
That was great!
good one! thanks and keep em coming!
THY? how many people use 'thy' on a daily basis? Not many, i bet. I think the idea seems forced, and not a natural concept. What inspired this teaser?
Prayers, young man, prayers. Great job. I agree, you are good at this. More please?
loved this one!
I'd have to say this was my favorite riddle yet...I got it in like four seconds
Two reasons, One-I've read the king james bible front to back, and Two-Thyme is my favorite spice...lol
great riddle

great riddle
Prayers? i guess since i am Buddhist, i shouldnt get this teaser, which i didnt. I barely know about Thyme, and i dont do Christian Prayers. I guess its a good teaser, but its not my thing.
i like this one ur good at this "i want more i want more" lolz hehe
Another great one! Loved it
I got it . Great teaser !
As far as I'm concerned, this was a fantastic teaser. Well written, witty, and sharp. Regardless of the "thy" debate going on. This is why they're called "teasers". It's not supposed to be obvious. It's supposed to force you to think outside the box, something I think you've accomplished, here. Hats off to you.
Fun and easy. Thanks.
How nice. My first guess was right!
teaser even though I didn't get it.
Wonderfully written! Well done. I'm adding to my favorites.
I thought of thyme, also, but then said, "Oh, no - that can't be right!"
So, even though "thy" isn't in everyday usage, it certainly is a pronoun. Good teaser - more, please!

This one went over my head.I drew a complete blank. Good job!!
I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT!
I got it and then rejected it for the same reason others did. Thy is hardly used at all and unknown by some. I can't truly say it is a great teaser like some have said.
I got it but for the wrong reason I think.
My problem was that thy is a possessive adjective, not a personal pronoun. Then add in that it's never used anymore. It made this much more difficult than it should have been.
Yes, good point about "thy" not being a pronoun; the pronoun is "thou".
The fact that it is no longer in common use is irrelevant; most English speakers would have come across it at some point, I feel, and to those who hadn't - tough! Sometimes teasers require knowledge you don't have; doesn't make them bad, but they do give you the opportunity to learn something.

Excellent! I'm an atheist and still got it in seconds
Well written & lots of fun thanks for posting!
As others have pointed out, "thy", strictly speaking, is not a personal pronoun, but a possessive pronoun.
I got this on my fourth guess thanks to Simon and Garfunkel. Happily, I considered the possessive aspect after, but decided not to care.
Good one. Got it quickly, but I wouldn't say it was too easy. Nice job.
