You seemed to have zipped your mouths when it comes to the second one.  Or maybe you sewed them shut, or sealed them or...

Crimson Wizard got it.

1. A box beneath a tree,
Inside some tasty meat.
Kept for a month or more,
It still tastes just as sweet.

2. Its tail is round and hollow,
Seems to get chewed a bit,
But you'll rarely see this thing,
Unless the other end is lit.

3. It doesn't live within a house.
Nor does it live without.
Most will use it when they come in,
And again when they go out.

1. Coffin with a body in.
2. Candle?
3. Front entrance/doorway.

Renodox

The third one is correct.  However, the other two are wrong.

A riddle from an old  text adventure, if you've played it then let somebody who hasn't try to guess the answer.

"my tines be long
my tines be short
my tines end before my first report"

Looks like I'm going to have to give a hint on this one...
You wouldn't want to get struck by it.

Ahh,,, i was racking my brain for hours about that tines riddle :-/

As for renodox's, i think 2 is a pipe. And 1 is a christmas pudding (mincemeat of the fruity kind)

Lightning?

That's the correct answer! And I didn't even have to give the "it has better odds then the lottery!" clue.

Renodox

#2 was correct, but #1 is not.

No it's not a beehive.  Think of the kind of meat even a vegan would eat.


Renodox

#1 was walnut but Coconut is close enough.

1. Although lower than a fence,
And thinner than a rail,
It can still be used to hold a horse;
Hooves, mane and tail.

2. Though not a plant, has leaves.
Though not a beast, has spine.
Though many wouldn't need this thing,
'Tis more valuable than wine.

3. In the fields a frightful thing,
Watch it and you will find,
It has a pitchfork in the front,
And a broom back behind.
