Instrument Can’t Be Touched Nor Seen
What instrument can make any sound and be heard but not touched or seen?
Your voice.
Swallowed the Dead
I’ve swallowed the dead,
Of a torn land’s end.
And I hold the remains,
Of an unknown friend
A mansion once stood,
Where I now lay,
We honor all those
Who gave us today.
What am I?
Arlington National Cemetery, the burial place of soldiers from the United States Civil War. It also houses the tomb of unknown soldiers. General Robert E. Lee’s mansion once stood on the land that is now occupied by the cemetery. And on Memorial Day in the US, we honor all those who died while serving their country’s armed forces.
Up and Down and Round About
I’m up and down and round about,
yet all the world can’t find me out.
Though thousands have employed their leisure,
they never yet could find my measure.
I’m found in almost every garden,
In a compass or a farden.
There’s neither chariot coach nor mill
may move one inch except I will.
What am I?
A circle.
I Stretch The Length of A Football Field
I stretch as far as a football field,
Yet I fit in the palm of your hand.
I will make you bleed if you don’t use me often.
You put me in your mouth but don’t eat me,
Then you throw me away.
What am I?
Floss. It typically comes in 100 yard packs, which fit easily in your hand. If you don’t floss regularly, your gums will bleed. You use floss in your mouth then throw it away when you’re done.
Travel Far Before You Turn It Over
You have to travel far before you turn it over. What is it?
An odometer.
Four Against the Masses
We are four against the masses. We are trying to find the one who is the whole package. We sigh, we laugh, we frown while we hope that the next one will be the one. Who are we?
Four orphaned siblings. It seems like there may be a better answer than this. If you have one, please add a comment.
Ties One Another
What ties one to another and is closest to the heart?
A wedding ring.
I know, this is nearly a duplicate with What Holds Two People Together.
