Wednesday's Riddles

1) A poet visited a prisoner he had not seen for so many years.
On his way out, the guard asked him what his relation to the
prisoner he just visited. The man, being a poet, responded
in this manner:

"Brothers nor sisters I do not have;
but the father of that man [pointing
his finger to the prisoner] is the
son of my father."


2) I am just two and two, I am warm, I am cold,
And the parent of numbers that cannot be told.
I am lawful, unlawful, a duty, a fault,
I am often sold dear, good for nothing when bought.
An extraordinary boon, and a matter of course,
And yielded with pleasure when taken by force.
Alike the delight of the poor and the rich,
Though the vulgar is apt to present me his breech.


3) What 5 letter word typed in all capital letters can
be read the same upside down?
