A Voice With No Mouth
I am a voice without a mouth, throat or lungs. I know no language but speak in all tongues. What am I?
An echo.
A Blade of Jagged Cut
Has a blade of jagged cut.
Keeps the quickest hand out shut.
Goes in darkness. Wears a ring.
One is quiet. Many sing.
A key. It has a jagged cut in order to fit the lock. A locked door keeps people out and the keyhole is dark. Key rings are a common way to hold a set of keys, and when you’re using a key that one is quiet, but the rest jingle and jangle.

Rooms One Score and Six
This house holds rooms, one score and six,
That shelter a vast mob.
It lets lions lie down with the lambs,
Yet makes both shun the slob.
None now will nestle with nicks and nates,
While reams room near the rear.
Though you and I have separate rooms
Both our bottles brim with beer.
The king and queen can never mate
(Though hands and hearts hobnob)
Because their rooms are separate
If this jail does its job.
What house is this that rules thus
Forcing faith to fend with fear?
The answer to this riddle lies
With dead and dying here.
A dictionary.
What Has Hair and Leaks?
What has hair and leaks when something bad happens?
Your eye. Your eyelashes are the hair and when something bad happens, your cry.
Early Ages The Iron Boot Tread
Early ages the iron boot tread,
with Europe at her command.
Through time power slipped and fled,
’til the creation of new holy land.
Who am I?
Italy / Rome.
Only Room You Can’t Enter or Leave
What’s the only room from which no one can enter or leave?
A mushroom.
A variation of this riddle is as follows.
I am a room with no doors and no windows, what am I?
Apples, Ice and Flowers
Apples, ice, and flowers can do it.
Pears, stones, and coins can’t.
Float.

What Can Lift Objects
What can lift objects
or hopelessly try,
but only when filled,
or, lifeless, it lies?
A glove.
