Long and Thin
Long and thin, red within,
With a nail at the end.
What am I?
A finger.
Soldiers Line Up Spaced With Pride
Soldiers line up, spaced with pride,
Two long rows lined side by side,
One sole unit can decide,
If the rows will unite or divide.
What am I?
A zipper.
Sometimes I’m a Sphere
Sometimes I’m a sphere,
Sometimes I’m a banana,
And sometimes I’m not there at all.
What am I?
The moon. A full moon is a sphere, a crescent moon looks like a banana, and sometimes the moon is not visible at all.
Has Teeth But Can’t Bite
What has teeth but can’t bite?
A comb. Other inanimate objects with teeth like a saw, zipper or a gear can “bite” you. Many people can affirm from painful experience in regards to zippers and saws, and the unfortunate factory worker who is missing a finger can attest to gears. It’s a rare event that anyone would be injured by a comb.
Another grim option is a dead animal or person.
A Red Drum
A red drum which sounds
Without being touched,
And grows silent,
When it is touched.
What is it?
Your heart.
Twist and Dance
I love to twist and dance.
Though wingless, I fly high in the sky.
What am I?
A kite.
