Gee. Let's have an easy one.... ;D
What is it that a contented man desires,
A wealthy man requires,
And a poor man has,
Misers spend, and spendthrifts save,
And all men carry to their grave?

LOL well don't we all just love Rhubarb? I do with custard, crumble or a nice Yoghurt yum
any way my guess is it's either anti-money (not merley the absense of money it's opposite) or nothing

Humbleness, perhaps, or humility, or something along those lines?
And rhubarb is one of the best fruits- nay, foods- ever. We used to grow it outside our old house. Dad made a delicious crumble, and feul- I think that's how it's spelt. Darn, I'm having a nostalgia day...

LoL. Never seen rhubarb before. Heard of it, but never come in contact with it. Maybe I should go looking for some.
Anyway... you're all wrong. ;D I thought it was easy.

Nothing.
Correct? ;D

Of course. ;D
See? I said it was easy!
Now... maybe a little harder...
The maker doesn't want it.
The buyer doesn't use it.
The user doesn't see it.
What is it?
I found that one tricky...

;D ;D ;D Eli's grown smarter in a matter of a few weeks. ;D ;D
Anyway... I was quizzing my sister on riddles like that and she managed to get only the easiest one right. How appalling.

I like the nothing one, though I've heard of the coffin riddle before...

There are so many variations on the Nothing riddle... Longer than infinity, eat it and you'll die...
Coffin one's good. Very clever.
New riddle!
Anthony and Cleopatra are lying dead on the floor of a villa in Egypt. Nearby is a broken bowl. There is no mark on either of their bodies and they were not poisoned. How did they die?
