riddle - A Worthless Piece of Ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ley


Disclaimer: Absolutely no offense to @Riley. Sorry if triggered.





And now... (music), O.K. Productions proudly presents... the Worthless Ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ley!



My head is worth nothing, a piece of flossy wool,


My neck isn't worth anything, just, in a lant'rn, a trifle,


My chest is, with vox, a phrase that means nothing you'd care,


My abdomen is nothing more than a hair,


And my legs turned me into a noun.


If you think I am worth nothing, vote me up, not down!
