 THREE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
Five brothers are they, their color is true,
One belongs to one, four are shared by two.
Arrange their initial letters just as you should,
And you'll find that's in a neighborhood.

2)
Ten men's length,
Ten men's strength,
Yet ten thousand men
Can't stand me on end.

3)
All men I take captive for hours each day,
Showing them visions while held in my sway;
I take them by night, by day they go back,
None suffer to have me, but do from my lack.

Answers:

1. The five Great Lakes - Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior - HOMES
Lake Michigan is entirely within the United States; the other Lakes are shared between the US and Canada.

2. Rope
3. Sleep
