You Twirl My Body
You twirl my body but I keep my head up high.
When I go in I keep things tight.
What am I?
A screw.
What is the center of gravity?
What is the center of gravity?
V. The letter ‘v’ is the center of the word gravity.
Born In the Ocean
Born in the ocean,
White as snow,
I’m hidden in water,
Where do I go?
What am I?
Salt. Salt is harvested from seawater, it’s white and it dissolves in water.
It Has No Eye
If a man made it, it has an eye.
If a tree made it, it has no eyes.
What is it?
A needle.

Not Burned in Fire Nor Drowned in Water
What can’t be burned in a fire nor drowned in water?
Ice. It melts instead of burning in a fire and it floats in water.
Four of Us In Your Field
Four of us are in your field
But our differences keep us at yield
First, a one that is no fool
Though he resembles a gardener’s tool
Next, one difficult to split in two
And a girl once had one as big as her shoe
Then, to the mind, one’s a lovely bonder
And truancy makes it grow fonder
Last, a stem connecting dots of three
Knowing all this, what are we?
The four suits in a deck of standard playing cards
The Spade is a gardener’s tool.
The Diamond is the hardest gem to break. “Little Girl and Queen” is a Mother Goose rhyme, in which the Queen gave the girl a large diamond for picking the Queen some roses.
The Heart bonds with the mind to form love. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
The Club, or Clover, is three dots connected around a stem.
Garlic or Spice
Before any changes I’m a garlic or spice. My first is altered and I’m a hand-warming device. My second is changed and I’m trees in full bloom. The next letter change makes a deathly old tomb. Change the fourth to make a fruit of the vine. Change the last for a chart plotted with lines. What was I? What did I become? What did I turn out to be?
clove
glove

A Seed of Three Letters
I am a seed, three letters in the name,
Take away two and I sound quite the same.
What am I?
Pea.
