And I will make you cry.

And girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
And normal people look like celebrities.

And make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.

Mmmm.... A line has been left out. It's the most important line in the riddle.

I 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?

This is only a riddle because people over think it. That last line is literal.

I can answer the riddle - time
I think the more correct answer to the riddle is just to answer the last line, in which case "no, i cannot answer the riddle".

Weird, I thought it would be water. Seeing as snow makes polar bears white, girls use water to comb their hair, pressure in water can pop, it makes you have to pee, makes champaigne bubble, etc.
So, my answer is water.

The answer is time and this riddle is as old as the hills.


The time has come,
winter is here
and those yellow bears disappear.
(I turn polar bears white )

The time has past
as man looks back with a sigh
and a tear in his eye.
(and I will make you cry.)

As time is held
boys cross their legs
but of course the toilet begs
(I make guys have to pee)

As time marches on
Girls loose their blush
and swap a comb for their brush
(and girls comb their hair.)

As time passes
For those held high
their end is nigh
(I make celebrities look stupid )

As time catches up
Everyone is equal
when we get to the final sequel
(and normal people look like celebrities.)

As time turns
Without it we have flour and water
With it we have breakfast for my daughter
(I turn pancakes brown )

As time revolves
How does one turn water and wine
into something so fine
(and make your champagne bubble.)

As time runs out
The more in a minute you try and squeeze
the less you can do with ease.
(If you squeeze me, I'll pop. )

As time ticks
All the time that has past
man cannot comprehend something so vast.
(If you look at me, you'll pop. )

Neither snow nor time make a polar bear look white.


The hair of a polar bear looks white because the air spaces in each hair scatter light of all colors. The color white becomes visible to our eyes when an object reflects back all of the visible wavelengths of light, rather than absorbing some of the wavelengths.

Taken from:

Is a polar bear’s fur transparent? (http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/polarbear.html)
