TWO RIDDLES

1. From wood it's made,

    From strings it's made.

    It's made by one,

    It's made by many.

    From hands and mouths it spins. 

 

   A score without a game,

   A staff not for the lame.

   With seven letters tamed,

   With five letters named.

*******************

 

2. We share the same name

    But we mean different things.

    One goes up and down

    And the other spins.

 

   You know our names,

   Just give it a thought.

   One is a messenger,

   The other is not.
