Can you solve my riddle?

I will give you a riddle.
You must solve my riddle.
It is a "who am I riddle."
Let's go!

Here it is: "I am tall when I am young, I am short when I am old, Fire gives me purpose, but I am man made and cannot occur in nature." What am I?
Whoever gets it will get a like!

I will say who gets it correct.

Is your question related to who asked the riddle or is it your final guess for the riddle?

Nope. I guess nobody is ready for my low budgeted home-made question. The answer was meant to be

a tounge and the cave with rocks is a mouth with teeth.

Also the Wingless Lion-headed Sphinx is just a lion.

Dude, I totally solved that. Hell, I got the lion part too:

I.e. a lion with boobs.

Spoiler: actual guess

A woman's biting tongue?

My only mistake was thinking it was all one riddle due to the colon, thus giving me a more complicated answer, but still.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Could not put Humpty Dumpty together again
