I Have Four Pairs of Letters
I have four pairs of letters,
Leaving two to stand alone.
You’re often doing the opposite,
When playing on your phone.
I help you get things done,
With one big caveat,
If taken to extremes,
I could make you fat.
What am I?
Efficiency. Being efficient helps you get things done, but if you’re extremely efficient with your tasks you get less exercise.

I Can Cry Without Eyes
I can cry but I have no eyes.
I can fly but I have no wings.
Wherever I go, darkness follows me.
What am I?
A cloud. Crying is rain, they fly in the sky and darkness follows because they block the sun.
Into the House Through the Keyhole
What always comes into the house through the keyhole?
The key.
Six Faces But No Arms
I have six faces but no arms, and twenty one eyes but I can’t see.
What am I?
A die. There six sides (or faces) and twenty one pips.
Ever Rising Then Gone Away
Ever rising then gone away,
I send messages or help some pray,
I’ll make you cry, but flavor meat,
But If I’m heavy, use your feet.
What am I?
Smoke. It rises then slowly dissipates in the air. Smoke signals send messages and incense is used in religious ceremonies. Anyone who’s sat at a bonfire knows smoke in your eyes can make you cry when the wind changes direction. Smoked meats are a tasty treat, but if you see heavy smoke (i.e. from a fire) then run. Or stop drop and roll if the fire already caught you.
I Won’t Break If Thrown
I won’t break if thrown from the highest building, but I will break if placed in the ocean. What am I?
Tissue.
