In Oven But Not Baked
What must be in the oven yet can not be baked?
Grows in the heat yet shuns the light of day?
What sinks in water but rises with air?
Looks like sand, but is fine as hair?
Yeast.
Doesn’t Fly Even With Wings
I have four wings but cannot fly,
I’ve never laughed nor will ever cry,
As much as I’d love to leave the ground,
I toil away with nary a sound.
What am I?
A windmill. The typical windmill, like the ones Don Quixote chased, have four vanes or sails. You might even say they look like wings. Windmills don’t have emotions, so they can’t laugh or cry. And since they don’t have actual wings, windmills don’t get off the ground. A well-oiled little bugger won’t make a peep.
Three Eyes But One Leg
I have three eyes but only one leg.
I still close one even if you beg.
What am I?
A traffic light. It has three “eyes” (the red, orange and green lights) and the leg is the pole holding it up. Many people beg the light to stay green as they’re approaching.
I Run Cold and Hot
I run cold and hot,
I look blue but am red.
What am I?
Blood. People can be referred to as hot blooded, and certain animals are cold-blooded. Your veins look blue, but the blood is actually red.
The More There Is The Less You See
The more there is the less you see. What is it?
Darkness. There more darkness there is, the less you can see.
Toss Me Out the Window
Toss me out of the window,
You’ll find a grieving wife,
Pull me back but through the door, and
Watch someone give life!
What am I?
The letter “n”. (widow, donor).
A Word That Has No End
I’m a five-letter word that has no end, Commit a sin? One through three can amend, One, four and five are something alive, Two and three occur near to thee.
What am I?
Abyss. aby is an archaic word meaning to pay the penalty for. An ass, otherwise known as a donkey, is alive and “by” is another way of saying near to you.
