FIVE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

My tongue is long,

My voice is strong,

Yet I bear no strife.

You will me hear,

Both far and near,

And yet I have no life.

2)

Buckets, barrels, baskets, cans;

What gets filled with empty hands?

3)

Touching one, yet holding two,

Bonding those who keep vows true.

4)

My timpani play a rhythmic song,

With hammer on anvil I play along;

Down my canal no ship sets course,

And I have a stirrup that fits no horse.

5)

The Bible says there's one of me for everything,

Though only four are we;

Over and over we repeat,
Cycling endlessly.

But then I'm also something that you do

When standing at the range;

One word am I, with meanings two,

I hope it's not too strange.
