Friday's Riddles

1) My voice is tender, my waist is slender and I'm
often invited to play. Yet wherever I go I must
take my bow or else I have nothing to say.
What am I?



2) We travel much, yet prisoners we are, and close confined
to boot. With the swiftest horse we keep pace, yet always
go on foot. What are we???



3) What can wear away stone
with the drip of a stream,
Cripple the oldest of anything?
What will go on forever,
yet never began,
The ruler of the world
with an iron hand?



4) If athletes get athlete's foot, then what do astronauts get?



5) How does Mickey Mouse get around during the winter?
