@RustyLake

That's right, it's actually yellow! To be fair, quite a lot of people fall for this one because of how the question is phrased cheeky

@DarkWolf This one was tricky. And fun! The three brothers are hands on a clock- the oldest is the hour hand (short, fat and slow), the middle is the minute hand (slim, keeps a steady pace) and the youngest is the ,well , second hand (runs fast, he's second in a way). Loved the wordplay!

Two sisters are we, one is dark and one is fair

Twin towers dwelling we're quite the pair

One of us is from land and one of us is from sea

Tell us truly, who are we?

I might come through your window,

And I'm often at the bar.

Sometimes I'm used to send your kids

To die in lands afar.
