THREE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

One by one we come to life,

Side by side we wait;

Some of us come early,

Some of us come late.

Some of us may bore you,

Others may enthrall;

But you cannot choose between us,

You must take us one and all.

We're bound together tightly,

We're nothing if we break free;

Each one of us has a part to play,

Now tell us, what can we be?

2)

Like a sheltering tree,

Tended by you and nurtured by me;

Planted in fertile ground,

Our roots grow deeply bound.

Our wood has no worth,

Our fruit you cannot eat;

Yet above all things on Earth,

It is most precious and sweet.

3)

My step is slow, the snow's my breath,

I give the ground a grinding death;

My marching makes an end to me,

I'm slain by sun or drowned by sea.
