FIVE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
The only one of sixteen without colors,
I constantly collide with all fifteen others;
I break, I bank, I spin, I roll,
Leaving me alone on the table should be your goal.

2)
Gentle or bold,
Impossible to hold;
I don't say a word,
But I'm easily heard.

3)
My first is in "eye," but I can't see,
A Beatle once believed in me;
My second is in "here," but I've just gone,
Every 24 hours I'm moving on.
My first three form a word we all love to hear,
Especially from one whom we hold dear.

4)
I run a dozen times as fast as him,
And we run all day - twice around the gym.

5)
Three eight-letter words I am asking of thee,
3rd, 4th, and 5th letters common to all three;
They all have T, but none have P,
Four vowels in each, but A an absentee.

The first a mistake, the second a tree,
The third is a pest that stings like a bee.

HINT:
5. The three common letters are SQU.

Answers:
1. Cue ball on a pool table
2. Wind
3. Yesterday
4. Minute and hour hands on a clock.
5. Misquote / Mesquite / Mosquito
