Another nice riddle, ThinksForFun! I got to the right answer, by I did not have much confidence in my answer. I could not justify line 1. But, the answer made perfect sense. Keep 'em comin'!
I got confused by the last line. I interpreted it as 'my whole in [cold spots that you wouldn't expect], rather than my whole in cold spots, you wouldn't expect. But I liked that rhyming and the way the teaser goes together.
Thanks for your feedback. I have submitted another similar one.
Fun but easy!
I am sitting in front of one as I am thinking. It gave me a reality clue! This was a good riddle.
That's funny! Thanks Coolnana!
