    Riddle me
    It cut off my riddle so here it is.
    In marble walls white as milk,
    Linder with skin soft as silk,
    Within a fountain crystal clear,
    A golden apple does apperception.
    No doors are there to this stronghold-
    Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.

    This is, in fact, a nursery rhyme - the line "a golden apple does apprerception" is totally incorrect, and the it's "lined," not "linder." The "marble walls," in fact, are describing the shell of an egg.

    I learned it as:

    In marble walls as white as milk,
    Lined with a skin as smooth as silk,
    Within a fountain color clear.
    A golden sphere doth there appear.
    No doors are found in this stronghold,
    Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.

    The gold is inside the egg - the yolk.
