Black We Are And Much Admired
Black we are and much admired,

but when it’s torn, it should be burned.

Tongue Can’t Taste, Throat Can’t Swallow
What has a tongue that can’t taste, a throat that can’t swallow, eyes that can’t see and a soul that will never die?
A shoe. It has a tongue, a throat, eyes (or eyelets) and a sole. I used soul here or else it would have given the answer away, but this riddle works best when told rather than read. And as the joke goes, old shoes never die, they just lose their sole.
Only One Color, But Not One Size
Only one color, but not one size,
stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies;
present in sun, but not in rain;
doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
A shadow.
