FOUR RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

My first you can drive,

My second's alive;

My whole may be shag,

Or perhaps a bag.

2)

Praise what you like,

Curse what you hate;

What does it matter?

It's only blind fate.

Called fat or slim,

My meaning's the same;

Feared by some,

To others a game,

3)

My first does innocence express,

My second an item of dress;

United they a period show

Free from vices, guilt, and woe.

4)

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

Some say they couldn't live without me;

Despite how often I'm consulted each day,

I never have a single word to say.
