FIVE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

In a sea of black there lies a house,

The sea's as quiet as a mouse;

The house is painted blue and green,

It's a home we all have seen.

In this sea there may be others,

Homes with children, fathers, mothers;

But of this no one is certain,

Only that our house life has chosen.

2)

You may praise your good fortune,

Or curse all you hate;

Yet I rule all your chaos,

And gamble with your fate.

By some I'm avoided,

By others fair game;

Called fat or slim,

My meaning's the same.

3)

No ink, no words, no talk, no glory,

Yet they help you to change your story.

4)

I run forever with a roaring call,

Yet I have no throat or legs at all;

Rocks wear away as I grow,

If you challenge me, you'll end up below.

5)

Stuffed with cotton,

Sometimes forgotten,
As the years go flying by;

Most often furry,

Most often soft,

Named for Mr. Roosevelt.
