Shuns the Light of Day
What must be in the oven yet can not be baked?
Grows in the heat yet shuns the light of day?
What sinks in water but rises with air?
Looks like skin but is fine as hair?
Yeast.
Many and One
We are many and one,
We wave and we drum,
We will cover a stare,
With you everywhere.
What are we?
Hands.
I Move Without Wings
I move without wings,
Between silken string,
I leave as you find,
My substance behind.
What am I?
A spider.
I Can Be Quick, And Then I’m Deadly
I can be quick and then I’m deadly,
I am a rock, shell and bone medley.
If I was made into a man, I’d make people dream,
I gather in millions by ocean, sea and stream.
Sand. Quicksand is deadly (at least in movies). Sand is made up of rocks, shells and bones. The sandman visits you when you dream (again, according to legend, I’ve never seen him…) and there is plenty of sand in the oceans, seas and streams.
If You Have Three, You Have Three
If you have three, you have three.
If you have two, you have two.
But if you have one, you have none.
What am I?
Choices.
Sometimes I’m An Insult
Sometimes I’m an insult,
Sometimes I’m a meal,
But if you see me hanging around,
I hope to change how you feel.
A turkey.
After You Wake Up
You do this after you wake up,
And you get all wet,
If you didn’t you would cause,
Those nearby to fret.
What am I?
Getting dressed.
Take Off My Skin
Take off my skin, I won’t cry, but you will. What am I?
An onion.
Roads Without Cars
Where will you find roads without cars, forests without trees and cities without houses?
On a map.
