Riddles!!!!!

I am in love with riddles! 

Here is a riddle: Let's see if you can guess it:

When I am closed, I'm a triangle, when i am open, I'm a circle.  What am I?

back to the Down to Earth

I don't know. That's hard.

Here's another one:

No one belongs to us.

We do not glitter on a lady's ring.

We do not beat like a steady drum.

We do not dig holes in the ground.

There is no throne,

there is no crown,

there is no beanstalk.

But if you listen hard, you may hear sounds of laughter.

It's kind of hard, but once you figure it out it's really cool.

@Ivy, that's really hard. Hint? In the meantime, here's another.

What has 4 legs, 6 pockets, is green and fuzzy, and would kill you if it fell out of a tree?

Playing Cards.

We do not glitter on a lady's ring: diamonds

We do not beat like a steady drum: hearts

But if you listen hard you may hear sounds of laughter: jokers

I heard a different version...

What is....

Greater tan God,

More evil than the devil,

The poor have it,

The rich need it,

We all deserve it,

What is it?

 

Kangaroo hopping over and out the door!

I'm owned by almost everyone
I flow like a river
Never run.

Lovely to have
disgusting to find
My end is always on your mind.
What am I?

@Snake: YES! It's an umbrella. 

And also, Snake, the answer to yours is nothing! I've heard that one before, except it also includes 'I'm greater that God, and more evil than the devil'.

Yes, I had thought I had heard it before, but I just couldn't remember the answer.
