I Stretch The Length of A Football Field
I stretch as far as a football field,
Yet I fit in the palm of your hand.
I will make you bleed if you don’t use me often.
You put me in your mouth but don’t eat me,
Then you throw me away.
What am I?
Floss. It typically comes in 100 yard packs, which fit easily in your hand. If you don’t floss regularly, your gums will bleed. You use floss in your mouth then throw it away when you’re done.
To Protect Our King From A Foe’s Attack
The eight of us go forth not back to protect our king from a foe’s attack. What are we?
Pawns in a chess game. There are eight pawns and they are only permitted to move forward, not backward and the primary objective in chess is to protect the king.
I Change Stature As I Age
I change stature as I age, but my importance does not differ by age. My importance is manifested mostly when with my boss. When we part, I am of no importance.
What am I?
A pencil. It gets shorter with use, but is no less important. Its impact is from the person using the pencil to write or draw. Without them, the pencil is just an idle tool.
Thanks Keller!
Sounds Nothing Like the Word
When pronounced, it sounds nothing like the word.
A sentence.

Full Of Lines

An actor. They memorize lines and lie about who they are, yet well-known actors are mobbed by fans whenever they’re seen in public.
