Rooms One Score and Six
This house holds rooms, one score and six,
That shelter a vast mob.
It lets lions lie down with the lambs,
Yet makes both shun the slob.
None now will nestle with nicks and nates,
While reams room near the rear.
Though you and I have separate rooms
Both our bottles brim with beer.
The king and queen can never mate
(Though hands and hearts hobnob)
Because their rooms are separate
If this jail does its job.
What house is this that rules thus
Forcing faith to fend with fear?
The answer to this riddle lies
With dead and dying here.
A dictionary.

Two Bodies Joined in One
Two bodies have I, though both joined in one,
The more I stand still the faster I run.

An hourglass.
It Has No Eye
If a man made it, it has an eye.

What Has Roots Nobody Sees?
What has roots that nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
Yet it never grows?
A mountain (from Tolkien)
