It Has No Eye
If a man made it, it has an eye.
If a tree made it, it has no eyes.
What is it?
A needle.

Shorter Than My Four Siblings
Shorter than my four siblings,
but easily the strongest,
sometimes I wear a funny hat.
A Thumb.

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.
Hurt Without Moving
We hurt without moving.
And poison without touching.
We bear truth and lies,
But are not judged by size.
What are we?
Words.
Gain and Lose the Most
Some are quick to take it.
Others must be coaxed.
Those who choose to take it
gain and lose the most.
Risk.

A Medication of Three Parts
I’m a medication with three parts. The first part is the surname of someone who has been a Mary and a Maria. The second part is a vital organ and the last is plentiful in the ocean.
What am I?
Andrews Liver Salts, an antacid. Julie Andrews played the role of Mary Poppins in the movie of the same name, and Maria in the Sound of Music. It’s tough to live without a liver and a taste of the ocean always includes a touch of salt.
An Animal of Few Letters
I am an animal of few letters,
Remove the second and you can’t see,
Change it to “l” and I’m a punishment,
Yet backwards I’m a game.
What am I?
Frog. It only has four letters, removing the “r” leaves fog, which makes it hard to see. Changing the “r” to an “l” makes flog, a punishment I hope you’ve never experienced. Flog backwards is golf, a game some would call a punishment when you keep swinging away at the ball yet it remains perched on its little white tower of terror while the other golfers impatiently wait for you to tee off.
