Little Miss Eticote
In her white petticoat
And her red nose
The longer she stands
The shorter she grows
A candle.
Rarely Touched, Often Held
I’m rarely touched but often held and if you’re wise you’ll use me well. What am I?
Your tongue.
Have No Face
I turn my head and you may go where you want.
I turn it again, you will stay till you rot.
I have no face, but I live or die,
By my crooked teeth.
What am I?
A key
The Most Impressive Boundary
The most impressive boundary’s not a wall.
It’s not a manufactured thing at all.
Moving towards it won’t reduce the gap
and nothing marks its presence on a map.
The horizon.

If I Can I Can
If I can, I can,
If I can’t, I freeze.
What am I?
Someone preserving food. The two most common ways of preserving food are canning and freezing. So when you preserve food, if you can can it, you do, otherwise you freeze it.
