Almost Catching Fire
People come and watch, from far away to see
Burning brightly, almost catching fire,
The colder it is the hotter I’ll be.
Then I die.
What am I?
Fall leaves changing colors. “Burning” with bright colors, when it’s cold outside the brighter the colors are.
I Can Ruin a Lucky Run
I can ruin a lucky run,
Or create an item of wealth,
But for man, woman or child,
I’ll always steal your health.
What am I?
Die. The roll of a die can ruin a game of chance. A die (i.e. mold) is used to create new coins and so far at least, we all die.
Worn By Men For Privacy
I’m an argument of why my side should win,
And worn by men for privacy.
I don’t last long if I get under your skin,
And I rhyme with a kind of misery.
What am I?
Brief (or briefs). A legal brief is a short outline of the arguments in a court case, briefs are worn by men to cover their privates. Brief also means to not last long and brief rhymes with grief, a kind of misery.
A Mouth On My Head And Eat Everything
I have a mouth on my head and eat everything.
What am I?
A backpack.
I Never Return
What are these three related items? When I am placed somewhere I will never stand up. Whatever you give me I will eat. When I go I never return.
A stove, fire, smoke.
Essentially a duplicate of A Group of Three but I’m keeping it here to avoid broken links.
A Face But No Eyes
I have a face but no eyes. Hands but no arms. What am I?
A clock.
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.
