Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.

Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Mr. Mrs. Clatter have 5 children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible? (androgenous is not the answer.)

Yay!

I'm sorry if I repost one that's already been mentioned, butI've chosen an obscure one from the Beyond Zork computer game.

"My tines be long
My tines be short
My tines flee ere
My first report."

Not right, Dogberta, but good guess

I had to look "tines" up on the internet, when I first saw it. It still took a bit to solve the puzzle though.

Yeah, lightning sounds like a good guess - if I understood the words right :D - *wanders off to check the dictionary*
