Many and One
We are many and one,
We wave and we drum,
We will cover a stare,
With you everywhere.
What are we?
Hands.
It Cannot Be Seen and Weighs Nothing
It cannot be seen, it weighs nothing, but when put into a barrel, it makes it lighter. What is it?
A hole.
Black, Red and White
What’s black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you’re all through with it?
Charcoal.
A Treasure to Many
A necessity to some, a treasure to many,
I’m best enjoyed among pleasant company.
Some like me hot, some like me cold.
Some prefer mild, some like me bold.
What am I?
Coffee.
The Sun Bakes Them
The sun bakes them,
The hand breaks them,
The foot treads them,
The mouth tastes them.
Grapes. Grapes are grown in the sun, can be hand picked and crushed by feet (which is sort of gross) to make wine, which is tasted by your mouth when you drink it.
Take It And You Will Lose
Take it and you will lose or gain more than all others.
Risk.
