The Riddle of the Jerk

What has three eyelids but never can sleep?

What lies and yet always tells truth?

Wide as the ocean, yet only skin-deep?

Refined, and yet often uncouth?

What weaves by day and unravels at night?

Weighs nothing, yet carries a ton?

Frosty and frozen and wintery white,

Yet hot as a spot on the sun.

What sings sweet songs without making a sound?

Has plenty but never can share?

What walks on five legs that roll on the ground,

Yet soars like a frog through the air?

What magic answer unriddles these tricks?

What solves this confounding old quandary?

You’ll feel like a fool when it finally clicks--

It’s “nothing”--now go do your laundry!
