Answer 1

A riddle is, of course, a verbal puzzle: an enigmatic statement, description or question posed by one person to another, or to a group, who have to guess the answer. We use the term loosely for more than one kind of puzzle. However, the riddle proper relies on imagery for its effects; often quite poetic imagery.

1  

I am within as white as snow,

without as green as herbs that grow;

I am higher than a house,

and yet am lesser than a mouse.

2

Old Mother Twitchett had but one eye,

And a long tail which she let fly;

And every time she went over a gap,

She left a bit of her tail in a trap.

3

Though of great age,

I'm kept in a cage,

Having a long tail and one ear,

My mouth it is round,

And when joys do abound,

O, then I sing wonderful clear.

4

I have a penis on yonder hill,

I keep him for a wonder,

And every time the penis do crow,

It lightens, hails and thunders.

I hope this helps!<3
