THREE RHYMING RIDDLES

1)

I live in a study, but know not a letter,

I feast on the Muses, but remain none the better;

I run over English, Latin and Greek,

Though none of the languages ever could I speak.

(British traditional riddle)

2)

My first is in silly, but not in fool,

My second in pupil, but not in school;

My third in read and also write,

My fourth in glimpse and also light.

My fifth is in ten, but not in three,

My last in glad and also glee;

My whole a word of meanings four,

One of them a time when kites may soar.

3)

A word I know that has a hole in it,

And many there are who have fallen in it;

Found in a spice and also clover,

It's a sad time to bear when it's over.

Answers:

1. A mouse

2. SPRING

3. LOVE (The letter O is the hole, and the spice is CLOVE.)
