More Than a Few
Nothing specific,
but more than a few.
This many clustered
together will do.
Bunch. It’s a vague term that means more than a few. And clustered items like bananas, grapes or celery come in bunches.

I Make Memories That Last a Lifetime
I make memories that last a lifetime,
Without me you’ll be miserable,
If you miss me you can gourge and it’s okay.
Some say I am naturally split in two.
What am I?
Sleep. It’s the time your mind organizes memories and knowledge. Sleep deprivation is miserable (as you well know if you’ve experienced it). If you miss a few nights of sleep, you can sleep more to catch up with no problems. And some believe that segmented sleep, where you sleep, wake for an hour, then go back to sleep, was the dominant form of sleep before the Industrial Revolution.
Twist and Dance
I love to twist and dance.
Though wingless, I fly high in the sky.
What am I?
A kite.
Lennie’s List of Names
Lennie was cleaning up some old papers in his office and found a list with the following names:
Washington
Jefferson
Lincoln
Hamilton
Jackson
Grant
The last name on the list was mostly worn away and he couldn’t make it out. What was the last name and why?
Franklin. It’s a list of the men on U.S. currency, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 and $50. The $100 bill has Franklin. And an interesting tidbit is that Hamilton, along with Franklin, are the only two men in the list who did not serve as president.
I Am, In Truth, A Yellow Fork
I am, in truth, a yellow fork
From tables in the sky
By inadvertent fingers dropped
The awful cutlery.
Of mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The apparatus of the dark
To ignorance revealed.
— Emily Dickenson
Lightning.
Apples for Leather
Apples for leather,
leather for silk,
silk for tobacco,
all to get milk.
Bartering.
