Not a Toy But Used For Pleasure
I am not a toy, though many use me for pleasure. I have a butt but I can not poop. I have been known to kill people. What am I?
A cigarette.
Imprisoned In Wood and Never Released
I am taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case from which I am never released. Yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?
Pencil lead. While modern pencils don’t contain lead, that’s still what we call the graphite compound. When real lead was used in pencils it was mined and nearly everyone has used a pencil at some point in their life.
A Wonderful Help To Women
I am a wonderful help to women,
The hope of something to come.
I harm no citizen except my slayer.
Rooted I stand on a high bed. I am shaggy below.
Sometimes the beautiful peasant’s daughter, an eager-armed,
Proud woman grabs my body,
Rushes my red skin, holds me hard,
Claims my head. The curly-haired
Woman who catches me fast will feel
Our meeting. Her eye will be wet.
What am I?
An onion. Onions help add flavor to meals, they make the person who cuts them cry and they grow hair downtown.
I Make You See the Beauty of Nature
I make you see the beauty of nature through colors,
My name makes things weigh less
And I have no weight at all.
What am I?
Light. Without light you wouldn’t be able to see anything. And light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow. Adding light to a word can mean it weighs less and light has no mass.
I Am a Protector
I am a protector.
I sit on a bridge.
One person can see right through me.
Others wonder what I hide.
What am I?
Sunglasses
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.
Liquid In Nature
I am liquid in nature,
But don’t bend me to far,
For then I may break
And give you a scar.
What am I?
Glass. Technically, glass is an amorphous solid, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it.
