To solve this riddle, let's break it down and analyze the clues provided:
1. "I have more than one hundred legs." This clue tells us that the subject of the riddle has over one hundred legs. This automatically rules out most animals, as they typically have no more than four legs.
2. "I cannot stand." This clue suggests that the subject cannot stand on its own, indicating that it doesn't have any means of support or balance.
3. "I have a very long neck." Here, we learn that the subject has a long neck. This narrows down the possibilities to animals with long necks.
4. "I do not have a head." This clue tells us that the subject lacks a head, ruling out creatures that require a head for normal functioning.
5. "I cannot see but I am as neat and tidy as can be." This clue suggests that the subject doesn't have the ability to see but is still meticulously organized or orderly.
Putting all these clues together, the answer to the riddle is a broom. A broom has bristles resembling legs, cannot stand upright on its own, has a long handle resembling a neck, lacks a head, and is typically used for sweeping and cleaning, which is associated with being neat and tidy.
