George is dead. He was found face down in the street, squashed nearly flat. He must have been there some time as he was cool to the touch. In addition, when he was found, there was a bird perched on the back of his head.
Who is George? |

A QUARTER
(Pre-statehood issue) 
I'm a bit of a coin freak
Sorry for nailing your riddle on the first try - I had fun if that's any consolation!
I'll try and think of a new one. |

Ok here's one I just made up! (be warned)
Sometimes babbling, sometimes roaring
Always falling, never rising
Always running, never leaving
Though a rainbow marks my passing
What am I?
I'm a poet and didn't know it |

Close, but I'm thinking if a more specific manifestation. |

Oh, I thought it was rain because you said 'a rainbow marks my passing' and rainbows come out after rain
Paul had it right first (good job Paul) How is it a waterfall? I thought first that it might be a river and then 'always falling' made me think of a waterfall but then I didn't get the rainbow part if it is in fact a waterfall
Thought you'd like to know

Waterfalls often create Rainbows from the mist off the water...
Niagra is a Good example.... they call this the Rainbow Bridge...not where we meet out furrbabies...(or is it?)
