Kings And Queens May Cling To Power
Kings and queens may cling to power
and the jester’s got his call
But, as you may all discover,
the common one outranks them all
An ace (in a deck of cards).
Cannot Be Seen, Captured or Held
All about, but cannot be seen,
Can be captured, cannot be held,
No throat, but can be heard.
The wind.
For Our Ambrosia
For our ambrosia we were blessed,
By Jupiter, with a sting of death.
Though our might, to some is jest,
We have quelled the dragon’s breath.
Who are we?
Bees.
Dead and Bound
Dead and bound,
what once was free.
What made no sound,
Now sings with glee.
What is it?
Any wooden, stringed instrument (guitar, violin, cello, ukulele, etc)
Snake Coiled Round and Round
Snake coiled round and round,
Snake deep below the ground,
Snake that’s never had a head,
Snake that binds but not with dread.
A rope.
A Circled of Joined Hands
You dance in a circle of joined hands,
And though they spin away I can always see your face,
In the world, no matter where I am,
One look at you and I know my place.
What am I?
A clock.
An analogue clock is a circle, and the hands of a clock are joined at the middle.
The hands can point away from you, but the clock face is always visible.
No matter where you are in the world, you can probably find a clock.
“One look at you and I know my place…in time!”
Thanks to Helena for creating this and sending it in.
In Heaven But Not in Hell
I am in heaven but not in hell.
I’m in the devil but not in god.
I’m in the river but not in the sea.
What am I?
The letter “v”.
