Apples, Ice and Flowers
Apples, ice, and flowers can do it.
Pears, stones, and coins can’t.
Float.

Mountain Covered With Snow
Why doesn’t a mountain covered with snow catch cold?
Because it has a snowcap. ;) I know, it was more joke than riddle, but I found it amusing.
After You Wake Up
You do this after you wake up,
And you get all wet,
If you didn’t you would cause,
Those nearby to fret.
What am I?
Getting dressed.
Little Cat’s Feet
It comes in on little cat’s feet,
Is neither sour, nor sweet.
Hovers in the air,
And then is not there.
Fog or mist
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.
Twenty One Points Divide And Dance
Twenty one points divide and dance,
Twirling and leaping about,
Ladies, Romans and knights of France,
Craving a victor’s rout,
Wrought of wood, ivory or bone,
An exciting yet vicious pursuit,
Ancient, forbidden and crooked,
All in search of the loot.
A die. The standard die has 21 pips (or points), divided up on the six sides of the die which dance around when rolled. Ladies, knights and Romans all played dice as a pastime (though not together). Dice can be made of wood, ivory and bone, among other materials. Dice have been used in Asia since before recorded history and many governments tried unsuccessfully to outlaw the game. Professional gamblers were common and often used loaded dice. Desperate German chaps even bet their own liberty on a single roll of the dice.
