Brain Teasers
Five Lines and Four Spaces
Found at weddings and funerals
and other important rites,
I can be learned as a child,
I am older than monks and medieval knights.
I can make you rich as royalty,
I can make you poor as dirt,
but one thing is certain,
I have more power than words to ease your hurts.
I always have five lines and four spaces,
But I could have more than that--
Now it's time for you to guess my name,
Put on your thinking hat!
What am I?

Thank you! I have never done a riddle before. I appreciate the feedback.
That was a good one, especially for your first, but i dont think I really understood the hint.... GREAT RIDDLE THOUGH.....
Luv it! Well done! Great first teaser!
I guess a song......close enough though. Well written but I don't understand the hint.
That's cool, let me explain the hint.
When music is written out, it is written on a staff, which has five lines and four spaces.
I hope this helps, sorry for the confusion.

This perticular riddle is a bit confusing, because a staff has five lines and four spaces. Music is only written on a staff. music itself is notes placed on or between those five lines and four spaces. nice try though

oops sorry, my comment was sent twice.
Really good riddle!!!!!
The funny thing is that when I saw the title for this teaser, the first thing that came to mind was a musical staff. Maybe I've been playing the piano too long. Oh well, I loved reading this one; it's really great. Good job!
good job!!
This shot past my brain faster than a speeding bullet. Would never have guessed it. But had fun trying. Good Job:
LOL my 13 yr old got it...but not me.....but she sings so thats my excuse....
Thank you for all of the comments, they are appreciated!!!
That was a really great riddle I loved it... and I don't say that very often
you have alot of creative energy buttons... just be careful of your wording, thats all... 5 lines and 4 spaces is the staff not the music but still... you submit some of the best stuff... keep it going!
Thanks!!
oh well duh! man i think it's time for bed. my brain is deep fried and dipped in hot sauce.
hey that was a good teaser. i was totally stumped. keep them coming!
