Riddles For 10.3.5

.

1) I walk, but have no legs. I sleep,

but never dream. You can rock me

in a cradle, but I am not a babe and

I can go around the world faster than

you can cross a room. What am I?

2) A different fruit is buried in each

of the following lines.

Can you spot them? (1/line)

Ah! If I get my good ship home
I'll find a tempting rural spot
Where mayhap pleasant flowers will bloom,
And there I'll shape a charming cot.

Where bees sip nectar in each flower,
And Philomel on hawkthorn rests
I'll shape a rustic, sun-kissed bower--
A bower meet for angel guests.

Then she who lives and loves with me,
Cheering our days of calm repose,
Sole monarch of the flowers will be--
For Myra is indeed a rose.

3) Mr. Smith left on a trip the day

after the day before yesterday, and

he will be back the eve of the day

after tomorrow. How many days is

he away?
