I have three eyes but only one leg.
I still close one even if you beg.

Thanks to Sherry for submitting this one. Here’s the backstory of the riddle.
“One of my favorites I remember as a child from my father, he always said it was a Newfoundland riddle. I don’t know where it may have originated. This is usually spoken. Ensure you say it as a statement and not a question.”
