THREE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

There was a man of Adam's race,

He had a certain dwelling place;

'Twas neither Heaven, Earth, nor Hell.

Who was this man and where did he dwell?

2)

Where you see one of us,

You'll likely see the other;

Though we are opposites,

We are each other's brother.

Black and white in the hair of some,

Or sitting on the table;

A single letter tells our names,

And serves us as a label.

3)

Friend to the thief and deceiver,

Foe to many a child;

Half the earth it blankets,

Half it leaves quite wild.

Slowly it creeps, welcome or no,

Bringing most creatures to a stop;

But make no mistake,

While there are some who dwell in its presence,

Most of us thrive in its wake.
