Riddles!
This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.
If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going.
I will start with this riddle:
What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?
What happens four times in every week, twice in every month and once in a year?
Always wax, yet always wane: I melt, succumbed to the flame.
Lighting darkness, with fate unblest, I soon devolve to shapeless mess.
what am I?

Dang it! You tricked me! XD I knew this was a trick question somehow!
Three brothers share a family sport: A non-stop marathon
The oldest one is fat and short And trudges slowly on
The middle brother
@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!
My turn! Well, this is more of a legal issue...can a man marry his widow's sister?
@RustyLake
If he has a widow he is dead. right?
@Bubblemelon22 That's right! I couldn't trick you
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.
@DarkWolf

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh... I thought about draft for sending people to war, but then I was like "nah, that doesn't make any sense" XD
@OldSerendipityBoat
Draft is correct!
