Today's Riddle - 12/30/2007 (17)

[The_Twisted_Ear]

Three brothers share a family sport:
A non-stop marathon
The oldest one is fat and short
And trudges slowly on
The middle brother's tall and slim
And keeps a steady pace
The youngest runs just like the wind,
Speeding through the race
"He's young in years, we let him run,"
The other brothers say
"'Cause though he's surely number one,
He's second, in a way."

What am I?

 

[Spanky]

a clock face?

 

[The_Twisted_Ear]

a clock face?

Correct!

The hands on a clock (hour, minute, and second).

Stay tuned for tomorrow's!

I would like to thank The_Twisted_Ear for posting the daily riddles and brain teasers. I enjoy them, and it appears that so do many others. I am going to refrain from posting any guesses/answers for a couple weeks to give others a first chance at them. I can still try to figure them out and see if I am right later. Keep up the good work!
