I Can Always Go Up, Never Down
I can always go up, never down,
I can always turn left, never right,
I am always hot when I’m cold
A ski lift.
Can Only Be Given, Not Taken Or Bought
It may only be given,
Not taken or bought,
What the sinner desires,
But the saint does not.
Forgiveness.
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.
Cut But Never Eaten
What is put on a table and cut but never eaten?
A deck of cards. You put the cards on the table to play, and you cut the cards to mix them up, but you don’t eat them. Flowers is another possible answer.
A One Letter Change
At my start I last a mere eleven days,
But change one letter and I’m over 31 years.
What am I?
One million seconds (about 11 1/2 days).
Change the “m” to a “b” to get one billion seconds (about 31.7 years).
It’s rather surprising that a million seconds and a billion seconds differ by such a large duration.
Anyone Can Take It
Anyone can take it as long as it’s on someone.
Pity.
