Two Bodies Joined in One
Two bodies have I, though both joined in one,
The more I stand still the faster I run.
What am I?
An hourglass.
Days of Summer
My days are in the summer
When you’ll eat me when I’m hot
In fact I’ll even eat myself
Where battles tough are fought
But when you find me in a fight
‘Twill be high in the sky
And if you catch me napping
I suggest you let me lie
When you’re bad come to my house
From Ma get thoughts profound
Am I big or am I small?
Some say I’m just a pound.
Dog. Dog days, hot dog, dog pound, dog fight.

House numbers.
Swiftest Traveling Horses
Two horses,
Swiftest traveling,
Harnessed in a pair,
And grazing ever in places,
Distant from them.
What am I?
Eyes.
Green You Eat It
What is one word that, when it’s green you eat it and when it’s blue you wear it?
Bell. You eat a green bell pepper and you were a blue bell (a flower).
