In Heaven But Not in Hell
I am in heaven but not in hell.
I’m in the devil but not in god.
I’m in the river but not in the sea.
What am I?
The letter “v”.
No Eyes But Once Could See
I do not have eyes but I once could see. I used to have thoughts but now I’m empty.
A skull.
Every Dawn Begins With Me
Every dawn begins with me
At dusk I’ll be the first you see
And daybreak couldn’t come without
What midday centers all about
Daises grow from me, I’m told
And when I come, I end all cold
But in the sun I won’t be found
Yet still, each day I’ll be around
The letter “d”.
What State Is Round On One Side
What state is round on one side, high in the middle, and round on the other side?
Ohio. This one works a little better when spoken rather than read, but O is round, hi sounds like high and the last O is as round as the first.
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.
Lies Behind Stars
It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
Lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
Comes first follows after,
Ends life kills laughter.
Darkness.
Four Times Every Week
What happens four times in every week, twice in every month and once in a year?
The letter ‘e’. There are four ‘e’s in ‘every week’, two ‘e’s in ‘every month’ and one ‘e’ in ‘year’.
Ripped From My Mother’s Womb
Ripped from my mother’s womb,
Beaten and burned,
I become a blood thirsty killer.
What am I?
Iron ore.
