Set 13: Mondo de Bonan Ridon

1.
Riddle
                    (tenth century?)/Anglo-Saxon
                    
What in the world am I?
          
mostly I’m locked away              but this girlfriend I know
sometimes takes me out               for a good laugh
and buffs me for a bit                 in her hands
then takes me to her                 roaring Lord
who sticks his head                 right up inside me
all the way folks                    up to the gunnels
well gorgeous as I am                I guess it’s my fate
to be stuffed solid                   with a hairy knob
if they can manage it                 what in the world am I

(answer: a Helmet)
