Figured that one. :D
Only words that have twice the same letter together go in Bob's
world. Two T together in Spaghetti, two P together in Puppies,
two O together in Moon and two F and E together in Coffee.
Here's another:
Many have heard me,
But no one has seen me,
And I will not speak back unless spoken to.
What am I?

Yay! Joke and a riddle, neither of which are mine. The joke I
saw online today, and the riddle is another Mindtrap question.
Why was Cinderella kicked from the basketball team?
[spoiler]She ran away from the ball.[/spoiler]
And the riddle:
Four men sat down to play
They played all night till break of day
They played for gold and not for fun
With separate scores for everyone
When they had come to square accounts
They all had made quite fair amounts
Can you the paradox explain
If no one lost, how all could gain?

Hmm... I think I figured that one. All four men played separate
games with other people, they did not play all four together.
And all of them won against their opponents.

Good guess, but wrong. They are playing together.

[color=#7faef1]They're a quartet of musicians, playing music!
Playing music from dusk to dawn.
Scores as in a musical score.
They all made money by the end of the night.

It seems I disappeared without much explaining the answer to my
last riddle.
Put simply, puppets have a hundred different dresses but remain
puppets all the same. Most particularly though, and this is why
puppet did the trick when a doll or mannequin did not, puppets
have the characteristic of being maimed as part of their active
utility and wholeness: they normally have disjointed
(''broken'') limbs because the puppeteer needs them this way to
properly manipulate them while in use.
And... It seems we need another riddle:
I saw upon the Doors of Day
The children of the Wind
They ran and scurried, see them go
Hither and tither, to and fro
Once upon, I saw a marvel
They came together, hand in hand
And spun around, in a revel!
They danced and danced, in a circle row
Suddenly fast! and just as soon slow
Spin a Merry dance, just as children know...
But then, like the wonder had only started
The circle broke, the children fled
The children had danced, and now had left
And I quite honestly felt low...
But I entertained the hope, hope they would come down
Come down to my place next year, and once around
Dance their merry dance I know.
Who are these children?
*looks at the composition above after half an hour of improv*
Uhm... I may have wandered too much into poetry this time...
Sorry. Feel free to skip that one if you like.

This seems like too simple an answer for such a magnificent
poem, but are they falling leaves? Leaves caught in the wind
appear to dance and play and chase each other about.
