If My Hand Is Forced I Can Sink Ships
I move quickly with hurried steps,
If my hand is forced I can sink ships,
I’ll cause you to shudder when driving your car,
And haul your fuel to where you are,
I’ll watch you bleed from a cut,
Add a rear and I’ll tell you what’s what.
What am I?
Scuttle. To scuttle is to scurry or run hurriedly. Scuttling is the deliberate sinking of your own ship. Scuttle shake is felt in convertibles where the passengers feel a distinct shudder. A coal scuttle is a bucket-like container to haul coal. A shaving scuttle holds hot water when you’re shaving. And adding a “rear” forms scuttlebutt, or rumors and gossip.
Alive Without Breath
Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Clad in mail never clinking,
Never thirsty, ever drinking
A fish.
I Used to Be The Light of Your Life
I used to be the light of your life,
I’d keep you warm while I cried,
Now I’m forgotten and tossed away.
What am I?
A candle. They used to be a primary source of light, and to a lesser extent heat. The “crying” is the wax rolling down the candle.
I Can Always Go Up, Never Down
I can always go up, never down,
I can always turn left, never right,
I am always hot when I’m cold
A ski lift.
The Densest of My Clan
You ride on me every day but barely notice,
I’m hot and cold at the very same time,
I’m the densest of my clan,
And my first three help you enjoy music.
What am I?
Earth. Most people don’t stop to think that they’re hurtling through space on a huge planet. At any given time the Earth has burning hot magma and freezing arctics at the same time. The Earth is the densest planet and the first three letters, “ear” help you listen to music.
