re: Riddle thread. Originals are best. He who gets it right provides the next

quote:

---

I’m young and I’m old ‘til you kill me,
Can be hot ‘less I’m cold and you fill me,
I can be life or death,
I can choke or make breath,
I can make old men and children smile,
Or make their fathers dance awhile
Kilt or bilt, this riddle’s over your head.
