This Is What Some People Do
This is what some people do,
For a compliment or two,
Anglers do it on a bank,
Others keep theirs in a tank.
What am I?
A fish. Some people fish for compliments, anglers are fishermen and fish live in a tank.
I Always Send You In The Right Direction
I always send you in the right direction,
I’m arrayed in black and white,
Ignore me and lose my protection,
No more than two words are in sight.
What am I?
A one way street sign. It tells you the correct way to go, is black and white (in the United States), going the wrong way can get you a citation and the sign only has two words on it.
Green House And Lots of Babies
There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies. What is it?
A watermelon.
Doesn’t Fly Even With Wings
I have four wings but cannot fly,
I’ve never laughed nor will ever cry,
As much as I’d love to leave the ground,
I toil away with nary a sound.
What am I?
A windmill. The typical windmill, like the ones Don Quixote chased, have four vanes or sails. You might even say they look like wings. Windmills don’t have emotions, so they can’t laugh or cry. And since they don’t have actual wings, windmills don’t get off the ground. A well-oiled little bugger won’t make a peep.
Have No Face
I turn my head and you may go where you want.
I turn it again, you will stay till you rot.
I have no face, but I live or die,
By my crooked teeth.
What am I?
A key
Has a Mouth But Cannot Drink
Has a mouth but cannot drink.
Has a head but cannot think.
Has a tongue but not a lung.
Some are held and some are hung.
A bell.
By Sef Daystrom
No One Can Reach It
It’s red, blue, purple and green, no one can reach it, not even the queen. What is it?
A rainbow.
I Cannot Speak
I cannot speak but I have great knowledge,
I’m not a tree but I have leaves.
I have hinges but I am neither a door nor a window.
What am I?
A book.
