Here a riddle from a superb little book called "The Year 1000" by Robert Lacey and Danny Danziger. It's (genuinely) about a thousand years old or so (translated from Old English, I assume), and comes from a book which wa discovered with beer rings on the cover.
I am a strange creature, for I satisfy women.
I grow very tall, erect in a bed.
I'm hairy underneath. From time to time
A beautiful girl, the brave daughter
Of some fellow dares to hold me
Grips my reddish skin, robs me of my head
And puts me in the pantry. At once that girl
With plaited hair who has confined me
Remembers our meeting. Her eyes moisten.
What am I?
You're an onion.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby , walking towards that group, saw a youg girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "
