Tease your mind,

Stretch your Head

Can you solve this riddle?

Question

You could say I'm a welcome mat,

Though “mat” would be untrue.

I've traveled one great ocean

But in toppled form – boo hoo!

Those that first observed me

Would know I'm changed today.

First brown, then to green.

It's in the air, they say.

 

 

 

 

 

Answer

The Statue of Liberty, which welcomes immigrants to the United States.

Built in France, transported by ship across the Atlantic Ocean.

Oxidation has changed the statue's copper sheathing from a brownish color to green.
