At The Sound Of Me, Men May Dream
At the sound of me, men may dream
Or stamp their feet
At the sound of me, women may laugh
Or sometimes weep
Music.
Black, Red and White
What’s black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you’re all through with it?
Charcoal.
Alone I’m Unknown
Alone I’m unknown,
With my twin I’m twenty,
And triplets make me a warning.
What am I?
The letter ‘X’. A single x is often used in math as an unknown, along with Mr. X. Two together (XX) make the Roman numeral 20, and three signifies a warning for adult only content, or a warning to other programmers of a problem in source code.
Right Behind You Creeps on the Ground
It’s right behind you,
And creeps on the ground,
It follows you home,
But does not make a sound.
Careful when you turn around.
What is it?
Your shadow.
Hurt Without Moving
We hurt without moving.
And poison without touching.
We bear truth and lies,
But are not judged by size.
What are we?
Words.
Commonly Forgotten And Sometimes Rotten
I am always with you
But commonly forgotten.
You use me constantly,
And can sometimes be rotten.
What am I?
Air.
