If You Look You Cannot See Me
If you look you cannot see me. If you see me you cannot see anything else. I can make anything you want happen, but later everything goes back to normal.
What am I?
Your imagination.
I Am, In Truth, A Yellow Fork
I am, in truth, a yellow fork
From tables in the sky
By inadvertent fingers dropped
The awful cutlery.
Of mansions never quite disclosed
And never quite concealed
The apparatus of the dark
To ignorance revealed.
— Emily Dickenson

I’m Told and Make You Crazy
I can be told and can make you crazy,
Most people don’t like me and think I’m harmful.
What am I?
A lie. Lies are told, can make people crazy with rage, and most people don’t like to have lies told to them. Lies can’t be harmful though. :) (See what I did there?)
If You Have Three, You Have Three
If you have three, you have three.
If you have two, you have two.
But if you have one, you have none.
What am I?
Choices.
Has Teeth But Can’t Bite
What has teeth but can’t bite?
A comb. Other inanimate objects with teeth like a saw, zipper or a gear can “bite” you. Many people can affirm from painful experience in regards to zippers and saws, and the unfortunate factory worker who is missing a finger can attest to gears. It’s a rare event that anyone would be injured by a comb.
Another grim option is a dead animal or person.
Think of Person Who Lives in Disguise
First think of a person who lives in disguise, who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next tell me what’s the last to mend, the middle of middle and the end of end.
Finally give me the sound often heard during the search for a hard to find word.
Now string them together and answer me this, which creature are you unwilling to kiss?
A spider. The person in disguise is a spy, the letter d is the last letter in mend, in the middle of middle and the last letter of end. When someone can’t think of a word they often say, “Err”. And lastly, I don’t know about you, but I’m not keen to kiss a spider.
This one is a duplicate of Deals In Secrets Tells Nothing But Lies but I’m keeping it to avoid broken links.
Don’t Speak But No Word I Cannot Make
I don’t speak but there is no word I cannot make. What am I?
The alphabet.
A Metal Roof and a Glass Wall
I have a metal roof and a glass wall,
I burn and burn but never fall.
What am I?
A lantern.
