Bird's Nest
(riddle poem)I’m shaped like a cup.
But I can’t drink.
My body has stems.
But I’m not a tree.
My name rhymes with rest.
But I never sleep.
Then a bird drops in,
and now I have eggs.
But I won’t eat them.
What am I?
But I can’t drink.
My body has stems.
But I’m not a tree.
My name rhymes with rest.
But I never sleep.
Then a bird drops in,
and now I have eggs.
But I won’t eat them.
What am I?
