An Insect And a Half
I am an insect. Half of my name is another insect. What am I?
Beetle. (Bee is the other insect).
Commonly Forgotten And Sometimes Rotten
I am always with you
But commonly forgotten.
You use me constantly,
And can sometimes be rotten.
What am I?
Air.
The Densest of My Clan
You ride on me every day but barely notice,
I’m hot and cold at the very same time,
I’m the densest of my clan,
And my first three help you enjoy music.
What am I?
Earth. Most people don’t stop to think that they’re hurtling through space on a huge planet. At any given time the Earth has burning hot magma and freezing arctics at the same time. The Earth is the densest planet and the first three letters, “ear” help you listen to music.
Shorter Than My Four Siblings
Shorter than my four siblings,
but easily the strongest,
sometimes I wear a funny hat.
A Thumb.

No Head On Which A Hat To Place
I always run but never walk,
I sometimes sing but cannot talk,
No head on which a hat to place,
You always look me in the face.
What am I?
A clock. It runs all the time, it “sings” for hourly chimes, cuckoos or alarms, it doesn’t have a head (but does have hands) and you look a clock in the face to tell the time.
Almost Catching Fire
People come and watch, from far away to see
Burning brightly, almost catching fire,
The colder it is the hotter I’ll be.
Then I die.
What am I?
Fall leaves changing colors. “Burning” with bright colors, when it’s cold outside the brighter the colors are.
Earthen Home Not a Den
This earthen home is not a den.
I’ve seen impressive rows of them.
As lost as any man becomes,
he always finds his way back home.
A grave.
