Spit Like Bacon, Made With an Egg
I spit like bacon, am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone but lack good legs,
I peel like an onion but still remain whole,
I’m long like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole
What am I?
A snake.
None There’ll Be
There is a word of letters three,
Add one letter to it and none there’ll be.
What is the word?
One. Add an ‘n’ to get none.
Gets Rid of Bad Ones
Gets rid of bad ones,
Short and tall,
Tightens when used
One size fits all.
A noose.
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 Live In A Busy Place In The City
I live in a busy place in the city,
I’ll let you stay with me for awhile,
If you don’t feed me, I can get you into trouble.
What am I?
A parking meter.
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
