Three Foot Ruler
Where can you find a three foot ruler?
At a yard sale. How did another joke riddle get in here?
Silver Tears Falling Down
Silver tears falling down,
Nature’s clear imposter,
Sparkling, shining like a gown,
Adorn an elephant or horse,
Silver, PVC or even lead,
Bringing cheer to all around,
For such a simple thread.
Tinsel.
Tinsel emulates icicles, which are like tears and are clear in nature. Tinsel sparkles and shines, and is used to adorn elephants and horses in India. Tinsel is made from silver, PVC and was once made from lead. Tinsel brings back fond memories to many (including myself) and represents far more than a simple metallic thread would normally warrant.
Happy Holidays!
Every Dawn Begins With Me
Every dawn begins with me
At dusk I’ll be the first you see
And daybreak couldn’t come without
What midday centers all about
Daises grow from me, I’m told
And when I come, I end all cold
But in the sun I won’t be found
Yet still, each day I’ll be around
The letter “d”.
I Climb Higher When Hot
I climb higher when hot,
But beware my rage,
I’ll kill with a breath,
If I can escape my cage.
Mercury. It rises when encased in a thermometer when it’s hot and mercury poisoning results from inhaling mercury.
Thin, Bold, Sick And Cold
One thin, one bold,
One sick, one cold.
The earth we span,
To prey upon man.
Who are we?
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
I Know of Word of Letters Three
I know a word of letters three. Add two, and fewer there will be
Few.
Placed On the Table But Never Eaten
What is placed on the table, cut and passed but never eaten?
A deck of cards. You play card games on a table, cut the deck, then deal (or pass out) the cards, but you only eat the snacks.
