“What am I?”- short riddle

November 21st, 2007 |

king riddle what am I

I have no head, and a tail I lack,

But oft have arms, and legs, and a back;

I inhabit the palace, the tavern, the cot-

‘Tis a beggarly residence where I am not.

If a monarch were present (I tell you no fable),

I still should be placed at the head of the table.

What am I?

[as always, will unmask submitted answers in 24-48 hrs, thanks!]

    A Chair (or Armchair)

    No head or tail but has arms and legs.
    Its present everywhere (palace or common house)
    You need to be very poor to not even have a chair at your house
    Whoever is at the head of the table has to sit on a chair
