Has Wings But Cannot Fly
What has wings but can not fly.
Is enclosed, but can outside also lie.
Can open itself up or close itself away.
Is the place of kings and queens,
And doggerel of every means.
What is it upon which I stand,
Which can lead us to different lands?
A stage.
Odd Start, Even Finish
What three letter English word has an odd start, an even finish and an infinitely long middle?
The word vex. “v” is Roman numeral 5, which is odd. “x” is Roman numeral 10, which is even. “e” is the base of the natural logarithm and is irrational (e = 2.718281828…). Its mantissa (the part to the right of the decimal point) is infinitely long.
Long Legs Crooked Thighs
Long legs, crooked thighs,
Little head and no eyes.
No burn, make a ting,
Use hands, but no ring.
What am I?
A pair of tongs.
Where None Should Be
One where none should be,
Or maybe where two should be,
Seeking out purity,
In the kings trees.
What am I?
A unicorn
Weight In My Belly
Weight in my belly;
trees on my back;
nails in my ribs;
feet I do lack.
A ship.
