riddle - Holy as the elements


Everybody should be able to solve this one!


You might try to pet me or kick my butt
but you can not touch me no matter what

If you gave me presents I'd leave you for sure
but take what's around me and I will endure

You can search the whole ocean or even beyond
in sometimes for sure, a loch or a pond

If you see what's behind it
you are very close
And as you assumed
its right under your nose

Additional verses



are not available for this is a really easy one!




Since it is an easy one I want every single line ripped apart!



Answer



Are you:



A HOLE



?


You might try to pet me or kick my butt but you can not touch me no matter what



You can caress the abyss or kick it but you will never make contact. "No matter" may be a clue here. There are some more graphic and direct applications of petting and kicking with regards to a HOLE, but never mind.




If you gave me presents I'd leave you for sure



If one fills a hole it is no longer a hole



but take what's around me and I will endure



You can make a hole bigger and it is still a hole



You can search the whole ocean or even beyond in sometimes for sure, a loch or a pond




Very clever. "Whole"=HOLE. "Loch" = HOLE (in German). Also note the presence of "O" in all the key words.



If you see whats behind it you are very close



If you can see the bottom of the hole, you must be close to it (or even in it).



And as you assumed its right under your nose



Your mouth is a HOLE of sorts :O
