Shorter Than My Four Siblings
Shorter than my four siblings,
but easily the strongest,
sometimes I wear a funny hat.
A Thumb.

Ground Not For Thy Daily Bread
Ground not for thy daily bread,
Leave me in my scented bed,
Ignore me not, lest I doth wither,
My name I leave you to consider.
A flower. The soil they grow in is not used for food, like wheat to make bread, but for their smell. A neglected flower will wither.
The Most Precious Commodity
What is the most precious commodity?
That which when needed seemingly is never enough,
Yet otherwise can be boringly plentiful.
While waking is oft dreamt of,
Whilst pining can scarcely be thought of.
For beings, is allotted in finite but indefinite quantity.
The more that’s given, the more is wasted.
Freedom is akin though this is something more simple,
Not related to virtue or sin.
Unless perhaps, without freedom, or its limit.
What is it?
Time.

Kings And Queens May Cling To Power
Kings and queens may cling to power
and the jester’s got his call
But, as you may all discover,
the common one outranks them all
An ace (in a deck of cards).
A Surprise Party
What is a surprise party without any cause for celebration?
An ambush.
Long and Thin
Long and thin, red within,
With a nail at the end.
What am I?
A finger.
