FOUR RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

I'm neat and tidy as can be,

I have no head and cannot see;

A hundred legs, but cannot stand,

My long, long neck fits in your hands.

2)

To unravel me you need a key,

If you want my message to see;

Not one made by the blacksmith's hand,

But a key that only I understand.

3)

A long, thick snake that makes me boil,

Though it has no skin, nor scales, nor coil;

The thicker it is, the worse for all,

If it moves at all, it's at a crawl.

It has many voices, a sort of rhythm of its own,

But it's harsh and strident, enough to make you moan;

We hate it, we curse it, but it's of our own making,

The alternative being our convenience forsaking.

4)

Reds and oranges, purples too,

Set against the deepest blue;

Bid farewell to its golden rays,

Nature's splendor at the close of day.
