The cherry tomato,
like a rosy-cheeked child
giddy with a secret,
until finally,
it bursts
with such delicious joy!

I MOVE ON FOUR WITH THE RISING OF THE SUN,
THEN ON TWO WHEN THE DAY IS IN THE MIDDLE,
THEN ON THREE WHEN THE DAY IS FINALLY DONE,
SO COME YOU NOW AND TRY TO SOLVE THIS RIDDLE.
AT BIRTH I AM OH SO NEEDY, YOUNG AND WEAK,
IN YOUTH I GREET LIFE WITH GREAT RESOLVE,
IN TWILIGHT YEARS 'TIS FOR PEACE THAT I SEEK,
CONSIDER THE CLUES, THE RIDDLE YOU'LL SOLVE!
See if any of you can guess the answer to this verse!
Clue:
Based on a story from long ago and far away,
The riddle give the clues but does not say,
That it's a little tough they is no deny'in'
Just think head of man and body of lion,
An ancient question, simply rewritten,
Speaker alone and lonely in the hot sand sittin'.

This is of my devising based on something I read as a child.

The source of this riddle, methinks,
is surely the ancient Sphinx.
And answer I can,
I say it is Man;
now I think I shall catch forty winks.
