I Wear You Down
I wear you down, yet you will mourn me once I fly.
You can kill me, but I will never die.
Time.

Never Ahead, Ever Behind
Never ahead, ever behind,
Yet flying swiftly past;
For a child I last forever,
For adults I’m gone too fast.
What am I?
Childhood.

Six Faces But No Arms
I have six faces but no arms, and twenty one eyes but I can’t see.
What am I?
A die. There six sides (or faces) and twenty one pips.

The Thinner It Grows
You use me from your head to your toes.
The more you use the thinner it grows.
For years I was not often used,
Not using me now is not excused.

Apples for Leather
Apples for leather,
leather for silk,
silk for tobacco,
all to get milk.
Bartering.
