Congrats. . Celeste got it! Isn't that smart? Sixty second, sixty seconds = one minute, so they called it Minute Street!

 

 

I am tall when I am young.

I am short when I am old.

When I live I glow.

From your breath I die.

 

What am I?

A candle.

Yeppers. ;) That was an easy one. Now here's one I really like! It's knoda like the first one.

 

 

I live above a star, and yet I never burn,

I have eleven neighbors, and yet none of them turn,

I am visited in sequence, first, last or in between,

PRS (& sometimes Q) are my initials,

Now, tell me what I mean.

I like that one. :) This is one you miiigght get.

 

If you won't solve a riddle

You'll never find me.

You look for me, when solving riddles,

You search me in a desperation,

Sometimes it is a big frustration...

But do not fear: the end is near!

If you will ever solve a riddle

I'll give a real satisfaction.

Goodie! This is such a loong one. . .

 

Watch me from a distant place,

See me kiss the sky;

Watch as from around me race

The creatures who lived nearby.

 

I cease my explosive kiss,

And rivers that engulf the trees

Make their way down with ease

And sometimes even shallows seas.

 

Not earth nor water, wood nor air

Can halt me as they would,

My power is even sometimes good,

Though not many would care.

 

See me huff and blow out smoke,

Though I do not smoke things.

Watch as the land around me's smote,

To which the inhabitants cling.

 

You've heard my tale, and known my place

And stayed for my game,

But I wonder, prove to me,

Could you pick my face?

 

Now for the question you've waited to hear,

Can you strike the mark, or even come near?

Tell me my only one, that has stayed the same,

Give me an answer, oh, what is my name?

Lol, yeah it is! I would show you the answer but MAN is it long!

 

 

Once there was a night watchman who had been caught several times sleeping on the job. The boss issued the final warning. On the next night he was caught with his head on his hand and his elbows on the desk.

"Aha, I've caught you again," exclaimed the boss. The watchman's eyes popped open immediately and he knew what had happened. Being a quick thinking man, he said one word before looking up at the boss. The boss apologized profusely and went home. What was the one word?
