FOUR RHYMING RIDDLES
From What Am I ? Vol. 1
Zach Guido

1)
We're always five,
Sometimes seven or six;
Rarely ever do we all hang together,
But with the rest of our friends,
We make a nice mix.

2)
I will tell you what you want to know,
But only under pressure;
You stand up tall to ask me your question,
But you can rarely stand my answer.

3)
I only fall when I am big,
I only rise when small;
You feel me when I'm falling down,
But when I'm rising, you feel nothing at all.

4)
You may find me in a pond,
Though I never do get wet;
Don't stare at me too long,
Or you may be singing Narcissus' song.

Answers:

1. Vowels
2. Scale
3. Rain/Water vapor
4. Reflection*

*In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pond, and, pining away in vain, eventually perishes.
