Cannot Hear or Even See
I cannot hear or even see,
But sense light and sounds there may be,
Sometimes I end up on a hook,
I can be combined with a book.
What am I?
A worm. Worms don’t have eyes or ears, but they can sense light and their bodies can detect vibrations in the ground. Fishers use worms as bait and the term bookwork is used for someone who loves to read.
Can’t Be Touched, Can Be Felt
It can’t be touched, but can be felt.
It can’t be opened, but can be gone into.
Those who seek it always find it under something,
yet it moves from place to place.
Shade. You can’t touch shade, but you can feel its coolness. You can’t open shade but you can go into it. If you’re looking for shade it always has to be underneath something to block the light and shade moves as the light does.

You Are My Brother
You are my brother but I am not your brother. Who am I?
Your sister.
What Boys Use, Girls Like and Parents Hate
Boys use it, girls like it, parents hate it. What is this 5-letter word?
The phone.
Short Black Dress
In the day I stand tall in a white petticoat. By evening I’m in my short black dress. What am I?
The wick of a candle.
Blow for Blow They Matched Each Other
Blow for blow,
they matched each other.
Neither would fall to the other.
In the eyes of the crowd,
they were this.
Equal.

The More You Run
The more you run, the harder I am to catch. What am I?
Your breath.
The Thinner It Grows
You use me from your head to your toes.
The more you use the thinner it grows.
For years I was not often used,
Not using me now is not excused.
Soap.
