Ten Men’s Strength
Ten men’s strength,
Ten men’s length,
Ten men can’t break it,
Yet a young boy walks off with it.
What am I?
A rope.
A Gentle Touch
What force and strength cannot get through,
I, with a gentle touch, can do.
And many in the street would stand,
were I not a friend at hand.
A key.
A Precious Thing to Most
A precious thing to most,
In order to take it,
You must already have it.
What is it?
Life.
By Sef Daystrom
One By One We Fall From Heaven
I can be long, or I can be short.
I can be grown, and I can be bought.
I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?
Sands in an hourglass.
I Cannot Speak
I cannot speak but I have great knowledge,
I’m not a tree but I have leaves.
I have hinges but I am neither a door nor a window.
What am I?
A book.
On My Own I’m Twenty-Fourth
On my own I’m 24th,
Two of us and I’m 20,
Three of us and I’m 18.
What am I?
The letter X. It is the 24th letter of the alphabet, two Xs in Roman numerals equals twenty and triple x represents adult content, and adulthood is eighteen by law in most countries.
