My first is in blue but not in glue;
My second is in old but not in new;
My third is in look but not in see;
My last is in ask but not in plea.
My whole has leaves but not a flower;
'Twill help you pass an idle hour.

This is such an elegant little letter riddle, especially with the way the lines rhyme and also the way the pairs of words either rhyme or have some semantic connection; the blue-glue one is a good giveaway also because it lets you know right away the first letter of the answer is B (assuming you figure out what kind of letter-riddle formula this is!). I'd like to compose a letter-riddle as elegant as this one someday!
Book.
