I Am Big And Mighty
I am big and mighty, and scared of sharp objects.
I feed everyone and watch people go by.
I have my feet stuck and hate talking with my big mouth.
What am I?
A tree.
Run Smoother Than Any Rhyme
What runs smoother than any rhyme, loves to fall but cannot climb?
Water
When Set Loose I Fly Away
When set loose
I fly away,
Never so cursed
As when I go astray.
A fart.
One Am I, Among Six Others
One am I, among six others:
Largest, smallest,
Cold, dark
and two brothers.
Who am I
Europe. Europe is the one among six other continents.
2. North America
3. South America
4. Asia
5. Australia
6. Africa
7. Antarctica
Asia is the largest, Australia is the smallest. Antarctica is cold, Africa is dark-skinned and the Americas are brothers.
This was is said to be written by Lewis Carroll, the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, known for writing Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
My First Wears My Second
My first wears my second; my third might be
What my first would acquire if he went to the sea.
Put together my one, two, three
And the belle of New York is the girl for me.
Manhattan. A MAN wears a HAT, and a MAN might acquire a TAN if he went to sea.
A Woman Without All Her Fingers On One Hand
What do you call a woman who doesn’t have all her fingers on one hand?
Normal. Women (and men for that matter) have half of their fingers on one hand and half of them on the other.
I Can Be Quick, And Then I’m Deadly
I can be quick and then I’m deadly,
I am a rock, shell and bone medley.
If I was made into a man, I’d make people dream,
I gather in millions by ocean, sea and stream.
Sand. Quicksand is deadly (at least in movies). Sand is made up of rocks, shells and bones. The sandman visits you when you dream (again, according to legend, I’ve never seen him…) and there is plenty of sand in the oceans, seas and streams.
