Measures Out Time
I measure out time,
Until in time,
All is smashed into me.
What am I?
Sand
I Turn Around Once
I turn around once,
What is out will not get in.
I turn around again.
What is in will not get out.
What am I?
A key.
Liquid Splashes But None Seeps Through
When liquid splashes me, none seeps through,
When I’m moved a lot, liquid I spew,
When I am hit, color I change,
And colors I come in, quite a range,
What I cover is quite complex,
Yet I am very easy to flex.
What am I?
Skin
Nile Rebus
What does this represent?
NILE
HO HO HO
Nylon hose (literally nile on ho’s)
Beam, Shine and Sparkle White
I beam, shine and sparkle white,
I brighten the day with a single light.
I charm and enchant one and all,
I can counter the darkest pall.
What am I?
A smile.
Don’t Speak But No Word I Cannot Make
I don’t speak but there is no word I cannot make. What am I?
The alphabet.
Wait 27 Days Or See It Every Day?
You could wait 27 days or you could see it everyday. What is it?
The moon. Even though the true moon cycle is about 29.5 days, it takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. Thus you can see the full moon every 27 days or you can moon yourself every day in the mirror. Not that you’d want to. Does anyone moon themselves? Can’t say as I’ve ever had the “pleasure”.
Green You Eat It
What is one word that, when it’s green you eat it and when it’s blue you wear it?
Bell. You eat a green bell pepper and you were a blue bell (a flower).
Almost Catching Fire
People come and watch, from far away to see
Burning brightly, almost catching fire,
The colder it is the hotter I’ll be.
Then I die.
What am I?
Fall leaves changing colors. “Burning” with bright colors, when it’s cold outside the brighter the colors are.
