It’s True I Bring Serenity
It’s true I bring serenity,
And hang around the stars
But yet I live in misery;
You’ll find me behind bars
With thieves and villains I consort
In prison I’ll be found
But I would never go to court,
Unless there’s more than one
The letter “s”.
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.
Lighter Than What I’m Made Of
Lighter than what
I am made of,
More of me is hidden
Than is seen.
An Iceberg.
Aft to Fore and Fore to Aft
I run fore to aft on one side of a ship and aft to fore on the other. What am I?
The name of the ship.
Soft And Fragile Is My Skin
Soft and fragile is my skin
I get my growth in mud
I’m dangerous as much as pretty
For if not careful, I draw blood.
A thorn.
Voiceless It Cries
Voiceless it cries, wingless flutters, toothless bites, mouth-less mutters. What is it?
The wind.
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.
