When set loose I fly away, Never so cursed As when I go astray.

A fart

Why this works

This riddle cleverly plays on the dual meanings and associations of the word "fly." When a fart is "set loose," it literally escapes from the body and can "fly" through the air. The phrase "never so cursed as when I go astray" hints at the embarrassment and potential social faux pas that come with a fart that isn't contained, emphasizing the humorous and often taboo nature of flatulence. So, the riddle captures both the physical action and the social implications of a fart in a playful way!

Common Wrong Answers

“A balloon”

While a balloon can fly away when released, it is not typically associated with the idea of going 'astray' in a cursed sense, nor does it have the same connotation of being a natural bodily function.

“A bird”

A bird does indeed fly away, but it does not fit the context of being 'cursed' or being something that can be controlled and released from the body like a fart.

“A kite”

A kite can fly away and requires wind to soar, but it doesn't have the same implications of being a natural release or the idea of embarrassment that comes with a fart.
