None There’ll Be
There is a word of letters three,
Add one letter to it and none there’ll be.
What is the word?
One. Add an ‘n’ to get none.
Rooms One Score and Six
This house holds rooms, one score and six,
That shelter a vast mob.
It lets lions lie down with the lambs,
Yet makes both shun the slob.
None now will nestle with nicks and nates,
While reams room near the rear.
Though you and I have separate rooms
Both our bottles brim with beer.
The king and queen can never mate
(Though hands and hearts hobnob)
Because their rooms are separate
If this jail does its job.
What house is this that rules thus
Forcing faith to fend with fear?
The answer to this riddle lies
With dead and dying here.
A dictionary.
Lies Behind Stars
It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
Lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
Comes first follows after,
Ends life kills laughter.
Darkness.
To Make In a Burning House
I am the best thing to make if you’re in a burning house. And you’d better make me quickly before the fire’s too hot to take.
Haste. You need to make haste to get out of the burning house as soon as possible.
You’ll Have Me At Night
You’ll have me at night and if you remove the first letter I denote the top, such as on a train
Supper. You eat supper at night, and removing the first letter leaves upper. Thanks to Dude for figuring it out.
