The World's Hardest Riddle (answer)

heh heh, well this is interesting. The kind of answers you give me on the riddle i posted earlier were quite funny too. Crayons, air, balloons, so i guess it is true that 97% of Harvard students can't get the answer. What's worse is, not even this class got the answer haha, that's quite a shocker! Ah well, anyway I'll give you the answer to the riddle, it goes along with a poem too.

" turn polar bears white
And I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
And girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
And normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
And make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?"
Answer: Time
and here's the poem:

The time has come,
winter is here
and those yellow bears disappear.

The time has past
as man looks back with a sigh
and a tear in his eye.

As time is held
boys cross their legs
but of course the toilet begs

As time marches on
Girls loose their blush
and swap a comb for their brush

As time passes
For those held high
their end is nigh

As time catches up
Everyone is equal
when we get to the final sequel

As time turns
Without it we have flour and water
With it we have breakfast for my daughter

As time revolves
How does one turn water and wine
into something so fine

As time runs out
The more in a minute you try and squeeze
the less you can do with ease.

As time ticks
All the time that has past
man cannot comprehend something so vast.
I'll see if i can post more riddles for you to try on, and no it's not gonna be the "world's hardest" where kindergardners can outsmart freshmen like us.
