RHYMING RIDLES

1. Though I am small and they are huge,

    They begin to budge 

    When I give them a nudge.  

 

2. It's on the tip of your tongue,

    But you can't taste it.

    You don't know what it is,

    But you crave it.

 

3. My first is another way to say impolite,

    My second usually comes in the morning light. 

    My whole may be a kind of fright.

 

4. Savage and fierce until you invert my head,

    Then gentle and peaceful I become instead.
