Array ( [sid] => 184916 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Rhymes with a riddle in the middle [time] => 2018-03-05 12:12:20 [hometext] => Shared just for fun! [bodytext] => Come Out and Play

A few silly riddles may brighten your day;
So come sit beside me and conjure away!
Unravel the clues in each stanza below;
(The answers are found at the end dontcha know!)

I can be felt, but alas, never heard;
I can be broken with only a word;
I can’t be touched or seen when I’m there;
Yet I am golden, because I’m so rare.

Im sure to be found in everyone’s home;
Still I am totally useless alone;
Although Ive no life, yet I can die;
I charge for my services, now, what am I?

I can be broken without being touched;
Im useless unless you//'//re willing to trust;
To some Im a lock without any key;
Beware those who offer me up carelessly!

The further you take me the more we are parted;
No matter the time or the place where we started.
If you would abandon me, take to the sky;
I know how to walk; but not how to fly.

I cannot see you, and I am mute;
Yet I will always tell you the truth.
Forbidden am I all falsehoods to grace;
Honestys written all over my face.

Alas, those who make me never will try me;
Ill not be used by those who will buy me;
They that will use me never will know;
Ill take them nowhere, wherever they go.

Those who have me want to share me;
Those who give me, do so rarely.
Im yours but for one caveat;
Share me and you have me not.

I have traveled everywhere;
I am welcomed far and near;
Yet in my corner I remain;
Never to be used again.

Poor folks have it; wealthy need it.
And you’ll die if you should eat it.
Multiply it endlessly;
And it remains what used to be.

I couldn/'/t solve any stanza. I saw the answers and read it again and got goosebumps at how clever each stanza was crafted. My favorite was the promise riddle. This one/'/s for Reader/'/s Digest. Exceptional!
