Here are some riddles to start
A mighty ship I now command,
With cargo rare from every land.
No goods have I to trade or sell;
Each wind will serve my turn as well;
To neither port nor harbor bound,
My greatest wish to run aground. |
In marble walls as white as milk
Lined with skin as soft as silk
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
There are no doors to this strong hold
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold. |
What does man love even more than life,
Hate more than death or mortal strife?
That which contented men desire
The poor have, the rich require,
The miser spends, the spendthrift saves,
And all dead men carry to their graves? |
You use it between your head and your toes,
The more you use it the thinner it grows. |
What can go up a chimney down
But cant go down a chimney up? |
