We spoke to the poet John Hegley on Tuesday, and asked him to read some of his riddle poems from his new book Peace, Love & Potatoes.

Now we're offering three lucky winners the chance to win a signed copy of the book, by answering the two riddles below, that he made up on the spot.

The three most interesting, amusing and inventive answers to the two riddles will each win a signed copy.

To enter, you can use the hashtag #plpriddle on Twitter, or enter your answers on blog.Waterstones.com (http://bitly.com/SMCy6a) - please be sure to tick the box "Notify me of follow-up comments via email" so we can contact you. The winners will be contacted on Monday 12th November.

Watch the video now to hear him read the beautiful Being is believing and then listen to his two impromptu riddles, which we've written out below for your reference...

Riddle 1

I am green,
I am flat,
I am wibbly
And I am moving...

Riddle 2

I am scratchy,
I am near the carpet,
I am move-y, in a kind of head jerky way...

You can buy Peace, Love & Potatoes at your local Waterstones bookshop (http://bit.ly/s6sdlu) or online at Waterstones.com (http://bit.ly/UgawTp)
