FIVE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

I cannot be reached by land,

And according to John Donne,

I may be a woman,

But never a man.

2)

Eat the outside,

But not the in;

Playing the lottery?

I'll help you win!

3)

I shine in the light like the sun off the sea;

Many say they could not live without me.

And yet, though I'm consulted many times each day,

I never have a word to say.

4)

I'm in the zoo, but not the jungle,

In puzzles I'm a pair;

I sound like I'm in xylophone,

But I'm not - so just beware.

5)

It runs all day but never moves,

It measures something golden;

That something, once lost, is never found,

And to it are we ever beholden.
