I Can Kill People
I can kill people, or cause great pain.
You eat me.
I can mean you’re crazy.
I hold things together.
I help climbers stay safe.
I can replace a swear.
And I’m on a violin.
What am I?
Nuts.
People with nut allergies can die from eating nuts. Being hit in the nuts hurts (I speak from experience. Painful, painful experience). You eat nuts (unless you’re allergic, in which case you should run away). If someone says you’re nuts, it doesn’t mean you’re a peanut or an almond. Nuts and bolts hold things together. A climber’s nut or chock wedges into a rock. Instead of swearing, you can say, “Aww nuts!”. And finally, the nut on a violin is a small piece of hard material that supports the strings.
Sometimes I Enter With a Gong
I’m a word, six letters long,
I sometimes enter with a gong.
All in order from A to Z,
I start with the letter B.
What is the word?
Begins
It has six letters, when a meditation begins they sound the gong, and the letters are in alphabetical order.
I’m Easy To Give Yet Few Will Take
I’m easy to give yet few will take,
I’m shared with a bride and can be seen at a wake,
I have a monopoly on the young,
And at times, it’s true, I may have stung.
What am I?
Advice. It’s easy to give it out but advice is often ignored. Brides are frequently given advice on their wedding day and you’ll even hear life advice at a funeral. Advice is frequently given to young people and some advice can be hard to stomach (like you should lose a few pounds).
Not the Sort That’s Eaten
I’m not the sort that’s eaten, I’m not the sort you bake,
Don’t put me in an oven, I don’t taste that great,
But when applied correctly, around me you will find,
Problems are so simple when my digits come to mind.

An Eye In A Blue Face
An eye in a blue face

‘That eye is like this eye’
Said the first eye,
But in a low, not high place.
The sun shining on daisies.

Empty. (mpt, emty or mt depending on your interpretation)
Need Me But Give Me Away
