Cannot Hear or Even See
I cannot hear or even see,
But sense light and sounds there may be,
Sometimes I end up on a hook,
I can be combined with a book.
What am I?
A worm. Worms don’t have eyes or ears, but they can sense light and their bodies can detect vibrations in the ground. Fishers use worms as bait and the term bookwork is used for someone who loves to read.
White, Round Not Always Around
I’m white, I’m round, but not always around. Sometimes you see me, sometimes you don’t. What am I?
The moon.
Marble Walls White as Milk
In the marble walls as white as milk,
Lined with skin as soft as silk,
Within a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple does appear.
No doors are there to this stronghold
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.
An egg or egg yolk. This is a variation of A Box Without Hinges.
I Appear In The Morning But Am Always There
I appear in the morning but am always there.
You can never see me though I am everywhere.
By night I am gone, though I sometimes never was.
Nothing can defeat me but I am easily gone.
What am I?
Sunlight.
Sometimes I’m a Sphere
Sometimes I’m a sphere,
Sometimes I’m a banana,
And sometimes I’m not there at all.
What am I?
The moon. A full moon is a sphere, a crescent moon looks like a banana, and sometimes the moon is not visible at all.
After the Tenth One
After the tenth one it didn’t matter that he came from an ethnic minority. Who was it?
Moses from the Bible. The Pharaoh wouldn’t release the ill-treated Israelites (an ethnic minority) from slavery until being visited by ten plagues.
Lighter Than a Feather
I’m lighter than a feather but even the world’s strongest man can’t hold me for more than a few minutes. What am I?
Breath. Air is light, but even Stig Severinsen, the world record holder can only hold his breath for 22 minutes. The world’s strongest man can’t beat that, but you can have the pleasure of telling him to his face.
