A Face But No Eyes
I have a face but no eyes. Hands but no arms. What am I?
A clock.
What Has Roots Nobody Sees?
What has roots that nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
Yet it never grows?
A mountain (from Tolkien)
Look At Me And Think of Yourself.
When you look at me,
You think of yourself.
I am always ready to talk
Whether times are easy or rough.
What am I?
A mirror.
No Head On Which A Hat To Place
I always run but never walk,
I sometimes sing but cannot talk,
No head on which a hat to place,
You always look me in the face.
What am I?
A clock. It runs all the time, it “sings” for hourly chimes, cuckoos or alarms, it doesn’t have a head (but does have hands) and you look a clock in the face to tell the time.
The Start Of What You Might Conceive
I’m the start of whatever you might conceive.
Next I describe a Thanksgiving meal.
Last I transform to a state we all leave.
What am I?
begin, binge, being. Everything has a beginning, Thanksgiving dinner is known for being a meal of excessive consumption and the mortal state of being (or the state of a human being) is one which, for all our efforts to extend, will eventually end.
Mountain Covered With Snow
Why doesn’t a mountain covered with snow catch cold?
Because it has a snowcap. ;) I know, it was more joke than riddle, but I found it amusing.
What State Is Round On One Side
What state is round on one side, high in the middle, and round on the other side?
Ohio. This one works a little better when spoken rather than read, but O is round, hi sounds like high and the last O is as round as the first.
