A Final Screech
I saw a strange creature,
Long, hard, and straight,
Thrusting in a round, dark, opening,
Preparing to discharge its load of lives,
Puffing and squealing noises accompanied it,
Then a final screech as it slowed and stopped.
Note: This may not be appropriate for younger ages.
A subway train.
Once a Minute, Twice in a Moment
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment but not once in a thousand years?
The letter “m”.
Grow In Trees and Have No Teeth
I grow in trees, eat living things but have no teeth and give birth to something that looks nothing like me. What am I?
A bird. They are hatched and raised in trees (nests), don’t have teeth in the traditional meaning of teeth and they lay eggs, which look nothing like a bird.
A butterfly / caterpillar could also work.
Round Like An Apple
Round like an apple, deep like a cup,
yet all the king’s horses cannot pull it up.
A well.
I Am Whole But Incomplete
I am whole but incomplete. I have no eyes, yet I see. You can see, and see right through me. My largest part is one fourth of what I once was.
What am I?
A skeleton.
Favorite Use Is Attached To A String
A three-letter word I’m sure you know,
I can be on a boat or a sleigh in the snow,
I’m pals with the rain and honor a king,
But my favorite use is attached to a string.
What am I?
A bow. It has three letters, the bow of a boat is the front, bows are found on the presents on Santa’s sleigh, rainbows come with the rain, one bows before a king and a bow and arrow requires a string.
