Quick Yet Deadly
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I can be quick and then I'm deadly,
I am a rock, shell and bone medley.
If I was made into a man, I'd make people dream,
I gather in my millions by ocean, sea and stream.

I didn't get 3rd line either .
I thought it was sand

oops I meant to write I thought it was calcium. Because "we gather in millions by oceans...." Coral is Calcium. Other than that i feel pretty dumb
Really cute!!
Nice teaser. I kept thinking waves or the tide, but sand makes perfect sense. i like this one.
I guessed fossil. Fossil Man!
Explain the sandman theory?
I totally should've gotten that. That was good!
Line 3 refers to a song that goes "Mr. Sandman send a dream." It's played in Back to the Future.
Need way more coffee to get this one!
Close your eyes and the sandman will come put you to sleep.
Scary thing to tell a child.
Quick sand is over rated at being deadly.

Good one. I got it. I liked it. Thanks!
I loved it as usual.... awesome riddles!!
GOOD ONE!
fun!
Great one, if a bit easy!
really good! When i saw the answer, the third line popped out at me. Sand-man, good one. I don't know if it's really known for being deadly though...
When I thought quick yet deadly, I thought of sandstorms... Those can be quite dangerous, especially to your eyes if you aren't careful...
I liked it a lot... a sand lot.
Good job!
Good job!
Very cleverly written!
I appreciate it on so many levels, good one!!
Lots of imagination used for creating this one! Great job!!
Mr. Sandman,,,bring me a dream.... I loved it. Thanks
another good one cheese... but i could not figure out the answer to save my life... and then i saw the answer and now it all makes perfect sence... i need to stop thinking outside the box sometimes...
Wow... a some people must have taken this from you... if you do a google search of it, there's some sites with this same riddle. I'm sorry that people stole this from you.
Wow, this was beautiful! I am really starting to like riddles!
good one! i like ur teasers!
It's okay Zig, Sand is made from both rock, and shells, as well as an assortment of other things- so you were close
This one was actually easy for me. Sand popped into my mind after the first line but at the time, I thought it was quick sand... Then I finished the rest. Tehe.
I don't often get riddles, so when 'sand' popped into my head after the 3rd reading, and fit everything perfectly, I was very excited!!
Good one, but I didn't get it. It makes perfect sense once you know the answer.
I like it! I was thinking about fossils.
I thought "quicksand" too. For those of you who didn't get the third line, have you ever heard of the sandman?
I got it without the "quick" but then my brain woke up. The Sandman is an old story, he comes at night and sprinkles sand in your eyes to make you sleep.
I just looked it up on Wikipedia, it's from a Hans Christian Andersen story.
THATS COOL I THOUGHT IT WAS FISH GOOD JOB
I am still not quite sure evry thing fits here. I guessed shells also, but then did not think it fit entirely either. I am glad some of you brains got it!!
Absolutely brilliant! Had me stumped! Perfect.
4th line gave it away for me.
Should have gotten it Very clever!
Love it! Easy but very fun! I love riddles! Especially thus one! Going in my favorites,thanks.
