What Does Man Love More Than Life?
What does man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire,
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?
Nothing. This one is similar to Greater than God, but different enough to include it here.
Head, Tail, Brown and No Legs
What has a head, a tail, is brown, and has no legs?
A penny.
Eyes That Don’t See
Most of you have two eyes. I only have one.
Most of you have eyeballs. I do not.
Your eyes aren’t dangerous, neither are mine.
But all together, I am extremely dangerous.
You can see things with your eyes.
I can’t see anything, even though the air is clear where my eye is.
What am I?
The eye of a tornado or hurricane. Could also be the eye of a needle.
Throw It Out To Use
What do you throw out to use and take in when you’re done?
An anchor.
Stars Awash in a Sheen of Light
Stars awash in a sheen of light
It calls out loud in vile delight.
Listeners endure in fright.
Vicious brute that reigns at night,
Evil whelped of heinous bite,
Renewed by wax, it regains might.
A leading way to slay the beast,
Get the hidden weapon thus released.
What is this describing?
Hint: The first letter of each line has a clue
A werewolf (vulnerable to silver bullets).
