Against the Rules for You to Play Fair
It’s against the rules for you to play fair,
I always win but you don’t care,
I’ve ruined lives and crushed dreams,
But the allure is too much it seems.
What am I?
A casino. If you use methods to make the odds more fair to you, they kick you out. The house always wins, yet people continue to play. Gambling has ruined countless lives and crushed dreams of making millions, but the hope of winning continues to draw people in.
A Monstrosity
I stand tall and am made of steel,
With baguettes and garlic at my heel.
The hunchback’s house could see my head,
I’m more well known than a certain bread.
I love the colors red, white and blue,
But maybe not as much as you.
I’m a marvel for all to see,
Though to some I am a monstrosity.
What am I?
The Eiffel Tower
Apples for Leather
Apples for leather,
leather for silk,
silk for tobacco,
all to get milk.
Bartering.

Growing Tall But Never Fat
This on this.
That on that.
Growing tall,
but never fat.
What am I?
A stack.

A Four Word Admonition
What four word admonition makes the happy person sad and the sad person happy?
The phrase, “This too shall pass.” According to Wikipedia, the well-known phrase is often attached to a fable of a great king who is humbled by these words, and to someone who is experiencing something wonderful, it can be saddening. But to one who is in the pits of despair, it is a phrase that brings relief and hope.
In other words, if a happy person is told, “This too shall pass” it will make them sad. But to a person on hard times, hearing, “This too shall pass” will cheer them up.
