As Long As They’re Dead
This is a place. The first letter is after A and before Z but nowhere in between. You can bring as many people as you want, as long as they’re all dead. Where is it?
The cemetery. The letter C is after A and before Z, and it’s not found in the word “between”. The cemetery won’t take live ones. Fortunately I don’t speak from experience on that.
A Leathery Snake
A leathery snake,
With a stinging bite,
I’ll stay coiled up,
Unless I must fight.
A whip.
Jump When I Walk
I jump when I walk, can’t go backward and sit when I stand. What am I?
A kangaroo.
Not Seen Nor Felt
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
The darkness.
Part Of The Bird
The part of the bird
that is not in the sky,
which can swim in the ocean
and always stay dry.
What is it?
The bird’s shadow.
Harvest Though No Grain
I harvest you, though you’ve no grain,
I reap you in the wind and rain,
You bleed not but your soft meat
And nectar makes a sweetest treat.
What am I?
A clam or oyster. You harvest clams or oysters on the beach or go diving, and the beach is often windy and rainy. Neither bleeds but are known for having, soft, slimy meat, and people often drink the “clam nectar” or “oyster juice”.

Five Letters and People Eat Me
I have five letters and people eat me. When you remove my first letter I become a crime. Remove my first two letters and I am an animal. If you remove my first and last letters I’m a form of music.
What am I?
Grape
Grape = a fruit people eat
rape = a crime
ape = an animal
rap = a category of music
