SEVEN RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
Two in a corner,
One in a room, porch, and yard;
None in a house, cabin, or tent,
One in a shelter and one in rent.

2)
Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Clad in mail, never clinking,
Never thirsty, ever drinking.

3)
A life of privilege,
But not of grace;
My father must die
Ere I gain my rightful place.

4)
We are two brothers,
Among five others,
Joined by the narrowest band;
Our first names are different,
Our last names the same;
In our family of seven,
All earth we contain.

5)
A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet within a golden treasure is hid.

6)
Breaking me makes you the best,
But now its harder for the rest.

7)
A female horse lost her tail,
Turn her around for a sheep that's male.
