Tear One Off And Scratch My Head
Tear one off and scratch my head. What once was red is black instead. What am I?
A match.
This is a duplicate of red black instead, but I’m leaving them both to avoid broken links.
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.
I Am Here, I Am There
I am here, I am there
I am burned into the mind of none
I walk on fire and live on ice
My words are meaningless for I talk not
I hate everyone yet fear no one
I have lived for centuries
Yet I have never existed
What am I?
Nothingness.
Liquid In Nature
I am liquid in nature,
But don’t bend me to far,
For then I may break
And give you a scar.
What am I?
Glass. Technically, glass is an amorphous solid, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it.
I Always Send You In The Right Direction
I always send you in the right direction,
I’m arrayed in black and white,
Ignore me and lose my protection,
No more than two words are in sight.
What am I?
A one way street sign. It tells you the correct way to go, is black and white (in the United States), going the wrong way can get you a citation and the sign only has two words on it.
My Motor Revs, But I’m No Rocket
My motor revs, but I’m no rocket,
I’ll hit you deep within your pocket,
I’m a little tart, don’t be afraid,
Unless life’s gift – then quick, seek aid!
A lemon. It’s a citrus fruit whose juice is acidic and can be used to conduct electricity for motors. A car or other purchase that has problems is known as a lemon and can be expensive to repair. Lemons have a tart flavor but do little harm (unless you get it in a cut, then it hurts like the dickens). The old saying goes, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” (I know, it’s spelled aid not ade but it sounds the same and wouldn’t make any sense the other way. It all works out nicely when the riddle is told instead of read.)
All In White, A Fossil
All in white, a fossil,
fresh snow, a loan, the sky,
But just what am I?
A bride (something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue).
A Shorter Word
What word becomes shorter when you add letters to it?
Short. Adding ‘er’ to short gives you shorter.
