People say you can tell nothing from my face.
I sound like I am useful in a fire.
I have connections to Royalty
People get undressed around me
If you can help me with the answer to that one, try this one:
"The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place."
It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

Here is some of e. e. cummings poetry ... note the use/misuse of margin and punctuation. Brilliant. I hate it.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

I also hate Steinbeck and Ansel Adams. Maybe just all famous 1900's American artists.
OK, back to riddles now: I've got a bunch but it's past my bed time so I'm off to sleep.

The only poem I've ever enjoyed in that style is Ode to a Goldfish by Ogden Nash:
O
wet pet.

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

I'm bad at these things, so I hope I'm right!
(there is a running theme in my guesses here... mortality perhaps!?)

The sun cooked it,
The hand broke it off,
The foot trod on it,
And the mouth enjoyed it
Dance like it hurts; Love like you need money; Work like someone is watching.
Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.

I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.

I'm not too sure about Ash's nursery rhyme, still thinkin' on that one...
The answer to foxfires' is Tomorrow
So here's another of my favorites, known as Homer's Riddle about 2 fishermen:
"What they caught, they threw away.
What they could not catch, they kept."
Dance like it hurts; Love like you need money; Work like someone is watching.
Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.
Prometheus' is a good one and I would be nit-picking if I said that it wasn't Homer's, rather Homer was asked this by a couple of flea-ridden boys. The story goes that the fish weren't biting, so they started to catch their lice.
Thiz sentense hav fife faults. Is this statement right or wrong?

Try this:
A handless man had a letter to write,
And he who read it had lost his sight,
The dumb repeated it word for word,
And deaf was the man who listened and heard.

I am a wee wee man in a red red coat
A stick in my hand and a stone in my throat
What am I?

the wee wee man is a cherry right?
As for Benders "Thiz sentense hav fife faults. Is this statement right or wrong?"
I suspect it's right either way:
the z instead of s, the s instead of c, the v instead of s, the f instead of v and the fith fault is that there's only 4 faults so therefore that's a fault!!
Or there's only 4 faults and therefore the statement is wrong - but I argue for it as the 5th fault.
Prometheus' letter though has got me temporarily bamboozled...

I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it. 
try this one
I have many tongues but cannot taste
By me, most things are turned to waste
I crack and snap, yet I stay whole
I may take the largest toll
I assisted all of the first men
And I will pay them back again
Around me, people snuggle and sleep
Yet run when I am released from my keep
I jump around and leap and bound
The cold man wishes I he had found
What am I?
