Apples for Leather
Apples for leather,
leather for silk,
silk for tobacco,
all to get milk.
Bartering.

Many are Perplexed While Seeking Me
Many get perplexed in life while seeking me. Others put their life in danger and others give up. If you find me you are satisfied. What am I?
Hint: It is in every house.
You. Hundreds of books have been written about people searching for themselves. Some methods are quite dangerous. Still others give up. But if you figure out who you are, you will be satisfied.
Lastly, the word you is in the phrase everY hOUse.
I Can Be Broken Yet I Hold On
I am a word with two meanings. With one I can be broken, with the second I hold on. What am I?
Tie. A tie score can be broken, but when you tie a knot (as in a necktie) it holds together.
Instrument Can’t Be Touched Nor Seen
What instrument can make any sound and be heard but not touched or seen?
Your voice.
A Word That Has No End
I’m a five-letter word that has no end, Commit a sin? One through three can amend, One, four and five are something alive, Two and three occur near to thee.
What am I?
Abyss. aby is an archaic word meaning to pay the penalty for. An ass, otherwise known as a donkey, is alive and “by” is another way of saying near to you.
Destroyer Of The Unbreakable
Destroyer of the unbreakable,
More of me is hidden than seen.
What am I?
An iceberg.
An Animal of Few Letters
I am an animal of few letters,
Remove the second and you can’t see,
Change it to “l” and I’m a punishment,
Yet backwards I’m a game.
What am I?
Frog. It only has four letters, removing the “r” leaves fog, which makes it hard to see. Changing the “r” to an “l” makes flog, a punishment I hope you’ve never experienced. Flog backwards is golf, a game some would call a punishment when you keep swinging away at the ball yet it remains perched on its little white tower of terror while the other golfers impatiently wait for you to tee off.
