Silver Tears Falling Down

Silver tears falling down,
Nature’s clear imposter,
Sparkling, shining like a gown,
Adorn an elephant or horse,
Silver, PVC or even lead,
Bringing cheer to all around,
For such a simple thread.

Tinsel.

Tinsel emulates icicles, which are like tears and are clear in nature. Tinsel sparkles and shines, and is used to adorn elephants and horses in India. Tinsel is made from silver, PVC and was once made from lead. Tinsel brings back fond memories to many (including myself) and represents far more than a simple metallic thread would normally warrant.

Happy Holidays!

You’ll Have Me At Night

You’ll have me at night and if you remove the first letter I denote the top, such as on a train

Supper. You eat supper at night, and removing the first letter leaves upper. Thanks to Dude for figuring it out.

As I went over London Bridge

As I went over London Bridge
I met my sister Jenny
I broke her neck and drank her blood
And left her standing empty

A bottle of gin.

Thirty White Horses On A Red Hill

Thirty white horses on a red hill,
first champ, then stamp, and then stand still

Your teeth.

Something Everyone Needs

Everyone needs this, it’s great with an ‘r’ on the end but you’re sad when the first letter goes away.

What is it?

Love, lover, over

I Climb Higher When Hot

I climb higher when hot,
But beware my rage,
I’ll kill with a breath,
If I can escape my cage.

Mercury. It rises when encased in a thermometer when it’s hot and mercury poisoning results from inhaling mercury.
