Falls But Never Breaks
What falls but never breaks and breaks but never falls?
Night and day.
Alive Without Breath
Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Clad in mail never clinking,
Never thirsty, ever drinking
A fish.
I Make Men Crazy
I can make men crazy,
I shine when you retire.
I move water without a touch,
My colors may cause you ire.
The moon. The moon has a long association with being crazy (lunar being the basis for a lunatic). It shines at night, when you go to bed. The moon’s gravity creates the ocean tides and when the moon is different colors it can mean bad weather is on its way.
Not a Burden For Its Weight
Not a burden for its weight and daily carried out,
He who takes it wishes it had never come about.
Punishment.

To Make In a Burning House
I am the best thing to make if you’re in a burning house. And you’d better make me quickly before the fire’s too hot to take.
Haste. You need to make haste to get out of the burning house as soon as possible.
Alone I’m Unknown
Alone I’m unknown,
With my twin I’m twenty,
And triplets make me a warning.
What am I?
The letter ‘X’. A single x is often used in math as an unknown, along with Mr. X. Two together (XX) make the Roman numeral 20, and three signifies a warning for adult only content, or a warning to other programmers of a problem in source code.
A Synonym of Drag
I’m a five letter word. Remove my last two letters and I’m a synonym of drag. My second and third letters form an exclamation and my first and second letters are a homophone with a number. What am I?
Towel. Tow is a synonym of drag, ow is an exclamation when you’re hurt (and far more appropriate in mixed company than the four-letter alternatives) and to is a homophone of two.
