Check out post 18 for a full explanation of the genesis of this and the two similar riddles. (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=2397)
Too much caffine? Too much time on the riddles forum? Too much something! :cyclops:
And what does that say of we who rack our brains trying to solve them? LoL

Since I have started writing riddles, I have wanted to write these kind of riddles...kind of like the ones in The Hobbit when Bilbo and Gollum first meet and they are playing the riddle game.
Where these "came" from is beyond me!
From beyond sir.
I cannot tell you how many riddles I "lost" because i did not have pen and paper at the moment. By the time I had such materials...the riddle vanished from my tiny brain.
It's frustrating!
(God... why am I stll up???
I have midterms and work, reports for work that need done before work. I have been up near 19 hours!!.
I'd better go snooze. I am so tempted to attempt to dissect one of Gabe's riddles though!

Xylophone?
Trombone?

A musical instrument is not correct. You're being too literal. ;)

Aww, I liked 'trombone' as the answer...
Bones in the shed
A musical back?
Reach 'round and find me
If mettle (metal) you lack.
Well, is that ain't the case.... hmmmmm.....

A good answer, I will grant you you that. But not the answer... :)

I'm stumped.

Well, then, I'll try and give a hint...
What would music and a woodshed have in common?

Key, scale, crescendo, woodwinds, flat, time signature, forte, piano, decrescendo, percussion, coda, clef, treble, harmony, brass, tune, sharp, measure, notes, chromatics, pianissimo, fortissimo, bass, instruments, strings, etc...
Rake, hoe, gardening, mower, tools, bugs, lock, dust, roof, walls, etc...
In other words, I have no idea. Hee.

Ironically, it is something about arrangement that pertains to them both (just thought of it that way myself!)
P.S. Think in terms of the original function of a woodshed.

storing wood?
it is a WOOD SHED.
hmm, this is confusing me. How does music supply storage?

Bones in the woodpile?
A musical back?
Reach 'round and find me
if courage you lack.
What am I?
Hints: A critical part of the answer pertains to the arrangement of wood and music.
*** I thought I'd change a few words for clarity. After all, it was a riddle thought up in the middle of the night...maybe I should have kept sleeping! ***

Woodwinds?
No, sir.
...a (physical) arrangement of wood and an arrangement of music (notes on page) ....mutually exclusive of one another. :(

Pipe Organ?
something about stave(s)?

Pipe Organ?
No,sir.
something about stave(s)?
No, but this type of thinking is good. Music has staves, Wood can be fashioned into staves.
Individual notes can be arranged as? Wood can be arranged as?

As always, the riddle terminator was a big factor!
